Meet The GPmeet the general partner Ben Zises     Earliest check possible with deep conviction Massive network to bring in other strategic capital  Operational, sales & team building support Founder empathy, trust, dedication & loyalty Prior founder experience to share learnings, provide unfair competitive advantage all resulting in ACCESS: Higher quality deal flow SELECTION: Identifying what it takes to achieve outsized results  Ben Zises meet the general partner Ben Zises  👋 Hi, I’m Ben Zises, Founder & General Partner of SuperAngel.Fund & SuperAngelSyndicate.com which invests in early stage Consumer, PropTech, & Future of Work companies. So far, I have invested over $20m into 100+ companies, built one of the leading brands in early-stage venture capital and developed one of the most powerful networks and strongest reputations in the industry. Prior to starting the fund, I spent six years as one of the most active angel investors in NYC. My focus is on areas where I am most passionate and have an informational, educational, access or network advantage. Early in my career I experienced the complete lifecycle of building a startup, from identifying a problem/market opportunity, to coming up with the “idea”, to painstakingly developing a business plan and executing it. I've been in a founder's shoes. I know what it is like to leave a stable job, ask friends and family for money, hire and scale a team, and more. My startup went through its share of ups and downs, launching to widespread industry acclaim and countless press articles, to gaining tens of thousands of users and raising $2m from early investors. I led a team through the process of iterating & pivoting multiple times, pitched hundreds of VC's in NYC & Silicon Valley, and ultimately failed to raise a successive round of funding which resulted in the wind down of my company. These experiences, among others, give me a major competitive advantage over other investors: founder empathy and unique understanding of the startup journey. As an investor, I strive to be one of the first checks (day 0) and leverage my network to bring in other strategic capital and resources in an advisory role. I am often described by founders as their company’s #1 fan, providing unwavering support and dedication for the short, medium, and long-term. I live and work in NYC with my wife and two daughters. Founders can reach out in whichever way they are most comfortable - while noting that email is my preferred method of communication ([email protected]). Unfortunately due to the volume I am no longer able to respond to every one, however, I read them all and am extremely grateful for the time you spend sharing your opportunity with me.  Jordan Nathan references “Ben has gone above and beyond as our first investor. He has been an incredible mentor for myself and the Caraway team since the start of our journey. He opened up his entire network which helped us get off the ground in the earliest days. Ben works as hard as any investor that I've ever met and sees more deal flow than just about anyone. He accomplishes more in a 15 minute call than most do in an hour. We are a more successful company because of his efforts and time.” Jordan Nathan Founder & CEO  Vanessa Dawson references  "Ben fully embodies the term ‘Angel Investor.’ He’s with you from the start, when no one else is, believing in you and your vision, leveraging his extensive CPG knowledge and network to guarantee you succeed. Ben’s enthusiasm, process, strategy and pace were the reason I closed my pre-seed round ahead of plans. He was an invaluable first investor!” Vanessa Dawson Founder & CEO  Simon Enever references “Ben wrote us the very first check and started making introductions to other strategic investors & advisors during a time we needed it most! From the first meeting he took an immediate interest in what we were building, instantly believing in our ability and vision to improve oral health by disrupting the oral care industry.” Simon Enever Founder  Greg Hayes references  “Ben is one of the most connected people in the NYC startup community. He brought a level of excitement rarely seen and introduced us to a number of other investors and connections - what you're really getting is a partner. He knows what it takes to build a business, and is willing to pull strings within his enormous network to help his portfolio companies succeed.” Greg Hayes Co-Founder & CEO  Greg Davidson & Michael Wieder references  “Ben believed in Lalo when it was just an idea and has been with us every step of the way. He works as hard as anyone in this business and is always a text or phone call away. He is there to listen, give advice, and provide help when needed. He is constantly thinking about ways to drive value for our business or who in his massive network to introduce us to. We are thankful for his ongoing support and partnership.” Greg Davidson & Michael Wieder Co-Founders .avif) Dan McCormick & Sienna Mori references  “Ben was among the first people that came to mind when seeking capital. His reputation, network, and track record for supporting founders, particularly at the earliest stages, preceded him. He invested within a month of our launch and immediately started to play a pivotal role as one of our strongest supporters and largest investors to date. He is an incredibly helpful advisor and super-connector - I could not be more thrilled to have his support on our journey!” Dan McCormick & Sienna Mori Co-Founders  Kait Stephens references .svg) "Ben actually reads your investor updates and responds with answers to 'asks' with tactical advice. He is hyperfocused on his strategy and can relate much closer to what a founder is going through than traditional VCs or hobbyist angels. He has provided myself and our team at Brij with truly valuable strategic insights, meaningful connections, and operational expertise." Kait Stephens Co-Founder & CEO  Ryan Lupberger references "I met Ben through an investor introduction and from day one Ben made a difference. In just about 7 days he closed our seed plus round and brought in phenomenal investors who were experts in the space and simply good humans to work with. He is always offering introductions that make a huge difference, has been hugely helpful in strategic decisions, and never steps in unless you ask or need him. I'm incredibly excited to work with him more and could not recommend him more to any founder considering his mentorship, investment, or partnership." Ryan Lupberger Co-Founder & CEO  Aishwarya Iyer references %25201.svg) "Ben is an A+ investor with an incredible eye for the consumer products market. He has been a fantastic supporter of Brightland from the earliest days, constantly providing valuable introductions whenever possible or asked. Ben is always there to give helpful feedback and has deep respect for founder time constraints. He is always looking for ways to promote our brand and is the very definition of 'value-add.' I wholeheartedly recommend Ben to any other founder looking to add a top tier angel investor to their cap table!" Aishwarya Iyer Founder & CEO  Jeremy Parker & Joshua Orbach references  "Ben is a true Entrepreneur. He has the ability to see the big picture and zero in on the most important aspects of what should be focused on. We have become close friends and he is truly one of those rare helpful investors. Ben was one of the earliest Swag.com believers and had a huge impact on our success. We are lucky to have Ben on the team!" Jeremy Parker & Joshua Orbach Co-Founders  Steph Hon references  "Ben is a visionary. He not only invests in the future before the rest of the crowd gets there, but he rolls up his sleeves to make it happen when you and your team need the extra lift. When Ben is on your cap table you enter his ring of support, and it's where you want to be. He will move mountains for his portfolio companies — text Ben asking for an intro and the connect email will land in your inbox in the next 10 minutes. The first time I met Ben I remember thinking — now here is a guy who is all action. On top of all the accolades around his expertise and instinct, he's also the guy who your whole team ends up getting to know, and deeply values." Steph Hon Founder & CEO .avif) Marc Hostovsky references  "Ben is one of the most prolific angel investors in NYC, and a true "founder's investor". I've loved having him in the fold at Minoan and I know several other founders who say Ben is the best investor on their cap table. He also gets in on the best deals--if he reveals his secret sauce to you, please share!" Marc Hostovsky Founder & CEO .avif) Danny Mayer & Mike Mayer references  "Ben‘s passion for startups and angel investing is only surpassed by his unrelenting commitment and devotion to the companies he chooses to partner with. Ben has been (and continues to be) one of our biggest champions, supporting and going to bat for us since our earliest days. He loves consumer products through and through, and any young company would be lucky to have him in its corner!" Danny Mayer & Mike Mayer Co-Founders  Cynthia Plotch & Jamie Norwood references  "Ben came highly referred just as we were raising our seed round. From the very first call it was clear why - he had an innate ability to identify the most impactful areas of our business, and after taking the time to learn about our story, mission/vision and overall plan for the company, he was quick to make a decision. And if that wasn't enough, he brought in other strategic co-investors to join alongside him!" Cynthia Plotch & Jamie Norwood Co-Founders  Andrei Negrau & Lisa Popovici references "Ben is the "Ultimate Connector." He seems to know everyone and provides full access to his rolodex. He has a knack for spotting the winners and getting in on them early." Andrei Negrau & Lisa Popovici Co-Founders  Jelani Memory references  "Ben is exactly the kind of investor every entrepreneur wants. He's supportive, honest, and let's you know whether it's a yes or no quickly. I've found his connections, input, and approach with our company to be quite valuable." Jelani Memory Founder  Kyle Connors & Chris Connors references  "Ben is not only a great angel investor but a great person as well. He will run through walls for the founders he backs and his mind is always-on thinking of ways to help." Kyle Connors & Chris Connors Co-Founders  Reza Khadjavi references "From the first phone call, Ben has been a huge supporter and pleasure to work with. He instantly believed in our vision for Motion and has been nothing but a champion." Reza Khadjavi Co-Founder & CEO .avif) Drew Marconi references  "Ben is a one-of-a-kind investor. He is the ultimate cheerleader and champion. He knows the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, and is a terrific sounding board. If you're starting a business you'd be lucky to have Ben invest.” Drew Marconi Co-Founder & CEO  Nik Sharma references  “Since becoming friends with Ben we've not only done multiple deals together, but he has introduced me to partners I love working with. He has an outstanding network that really aligns with founders. Plus, he is a phenomenal resource to founders himself. I know that if Ben is investing in something early, it's in my best interest to also get in there as soon as possible!" Nik Sharma Founder & CEO  Bailey Newton references  "Ben has been an incredibly valuable investor, sharing his entire network to our advantage. He works harder than any VC that I know and can accomplish more in a 15 minute call than most do in an hour." Bailey Newton Co-Founder & CEO .avif) Tom Shea references  "Ben is one of Adgile's earliest investors. He is one of the most hard-working, well-connected, value-add investors I've ever met. He's personally coached me through many tricky scenarios, he's personally written Adgile hundreds of intro's (driving hundreds of thousands of revenue in the process), and he's even personally helped raise capital for us when we needed it most. There is no Adgile without Ben Zises. He goes to the mat for his founders; that is the type of horse I'd bet on -- every. damn. time. My conviction is so strong that I've personally invested my own money into Ben's funds." Tom Shea Co-Founder & CEO  Zach Zelner & Noah Friedman references  "One of the smartest decisions we made: Making space for a Ben Zises/SuperAngel check at the end of a pre-seed round despite hot demand/overallocation. Not all dollars are created equal. Dollar for dollar, BZ's up there with the very best in helping portco's win." Zach Zelner & Noah Friedman Co-Founders Invest With |
