Investment thesis
SandstormVC is an angel syndicate that invests early, from the first ticket through Series A, prioritizing founders' ability to build and sell, market potential and timing, and its own ability to add value beyond capital. It is generally sector-agnostic with a B2B focus, drawing on deep experience in B2B SaaS, FinTech, HealthTech and Industry 4.0. The syndicate emphasizes low administration, fast decisions and a founder-first approach, offering access to opportunities and markets across the Middle East, Europe, Australia and beyond. It invests via equity or convertible loan agreements, not debt, favoring individual tickets with syndication possible.
