Robin Hood Ventures

Robin Hood Ventures is a member-led angel investment group founded in 1999 and headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, focused on early-stage, high-growth startups in the Greater Mid-Atlantic region. The group has invested in 70+ companies across software/healthcare IT, hard tech, life sciences, and consumer sectors. Investments typically range from $250,000 to $1 million, with target companies seeking $500,000 to $3 million in total round funding; RHV assists with syndication to close rounds alongside VCs, institutions, and other angels. Accepted investment vehicles include preferred equity, convertible notes, and post-money SAFEs; companies must be US-incorporated C-Corps (or plan to convert). Applications are submitted via Gust on a rolling basis and reviewed monthly by a screening committee; promising applicants are invited to present at a monthly meeting before due diligence begins. RHV pools member investments into a single limited partnership per company and typically takes a board seat. Post-investment support includes deal structuring assistance, corporate governance, and access to partner services (legal, accounting, banking, HR).
