During a hike, Jaclyn Johnson and Angeline Vuong realized the challenges of getting started in angel investing and were inspired to create a solution.
They are now the co-founders of Cherub, a platform connecting angel investors with entrepreneurs.
Vuong’s experience at Opendoor and Johnson’s background in entrepreneurship led them to create Cherub, drawing from their own investing experiences.
Cherub, based in Los Angeles, operates like a dating app, matching investors and founders based on their preferences.
With features akin to a dating app, Cherub allows investors and entrepreneurs to express interest in each other based on specific criteria.
Membership-based
To validate Cherub’s concept, Johnson and Voung initially launched a newsletter that quickly gained traction, leading to the development of the platform.

Cherub’s unique approach and partnerships set it apart from other angel investing platforms, offering a tailored and social experience for both investors and founders.
