Cherub

Cherub is a Los Angeles-based membership marketplace that connects startup founders with angel investors and creators, using tag-based, dating-app-style matching to help founders build cap tables and raise from strategic backers. Founders list their companies and get discovered by investors and creators who can invest, advise, or bring audience and distribution, while investors receive curated weekly deal flow. Founded in 2023 by serial entrepreneur Jaclyn Johnson (Create & Cultivate) and product leader Angeline Vuong (Opendoor), the company monetizes through founder memberships.
