In our continuing effort to help you find investors for your venture, below are 10 Silicon Valley angel investors who may wish to stalk on Twitter. Last week we detailed 10 San Francisco-based angel investors to stalk (on Twitter only of course), and today, we open it up a bit to Silicon Valley.
We’ve included links to their profile and their angel investment portfolio as these are key things to consider when thinking of approaching these investors (or trying to get an introduction to one of them). Their past investments are a good predictor of the types of areas they prefer to invest in, and their biographies/profiles may help provide you a more nuanced understanding of what they look for, what their backgrounds are, etc.
Of course, Twitter may be a great way to engage with them and understand them in a more real-time way as you’ll get to see the kinds of content and relationships they maintain using the service. Doing all of this is part of sound investor reverse due diligence and ensuring angel investment is the right way to finance your business.
So without further ado, here are Silicon Valley Angel Investors you should learn more about.

Thank you for sharing these wonderful Bay Area angel investors! I loved learning about them and what angel investing is all about. I am just beginning my search as I am midway through a business plan. Also stoked to find Chubby Brain – it’s like match.com for investors and entrepreneurs! It’s going to be a great resource. You are added to my favorites. Looking forward to interacting with you. Again, thanks and best wishes:)
Stacy – Thanks for your comment and the kind words re: CB. We’ve been really happy to see the response from entrepreneurs and hope we can continue to use data in ways that might help folks like yourself. Good luck with the business plan and hope we can continue to be useful to you in those efforts.
@Kevin Rose, @bearner @jstylman should also be added to your list. Nice list overall.
