If you're looking for funding, sign up for our invite-only Funding Recommendation Engine. It's free and algorithmically recommends upto 20 VCs, angels, super angels, etc who fit with your business based on their past investment history. Get an invite here.

After the " What is a super angel?" question we get from founders going through the Funding Recommendation Engine, the next question is, "Who are the super angels?"

Ask and you shall receive. Below is the best list out there of super angel investors in alphabetical order along with some analysis of their investment industries and geographies of focus.

Note: Since a clear definition of super angel has not surfaced yet, we've used what seems to be the more popular definition which is that Super Angels are those that who were angel investors and who have have subsequently raised small funds with which to invest in emerging, young companies. To those that feel strongly that calling these folks Super Angels is a misnomer and that they are actually micro venture capital funds, our headline attempts to assuage your concerns. Rich Aberman of WePay has a good post explaining why these types of issues probably don't matter to founders and entrepreneurs anyways.
