HotStart Angels.
Co-invest with us in celebrity- and creator-founded brands.
The largest angel syndicate dedicated to celebrity- and creator-founded brands, with 300+ accredited members, many of whom are celebrities and creators themselves.
Why co-invest with us.
Getting into celebrity- and creator-founded brands is not a capital problem. It is an access problem. The best deals are won through relationships built over years, not dollars. We have spent years earning a seat at the table with celebrities, creators and their teams, and as a member, you co-invest right alongside us.
Our team includes the co-founders of Feastables and The Honest Company, two of the most successful celebrity-founded brands ever built. We know what separates a billion-dollar brand from a failed launch, and that expertise backs every deal memo we send you.
