Angel Shave Club Closes $200K Investment Deal With Quake Capital and Hatcher+


SAN DIEGO, March 28, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Angel Shave Club, the first boutique shave club started by a woman for women, announced that they have entered into an agreement for a $200,000 investment with Quake Capital and have been accepted into their accelerator program. The deal comes shortly after the subscription-based shaving service appeared on ABC's Shark Tank.

"Our partnership with Quake Capital will help accelerate our business and aid us in fulfilling our mission to provide affordable shaving products to women all while giving back to women's organizations," said Iskra Tsenkova, CEO and founder of Angel Shave Club. "I'm very pleased that a respected organization like Quake Capital shares our views about the opportunities that lie ahead for Angel Shave Club."

Angel Shave Club was one of only 15 teams selected out of a pool of over 2,500 applicants for the Quake Capital Spring 2019 LA Cohort. Tsenkova says that the partnership with Quake Capital was a natural fit, as they are a worldwide leader in terms of supporting female founders and co-founders and ranked #2 globally by Crunchbase as the most active investor in female-led companies.

"Iskra is an amazing founder, and Angel Shave Club has achieved some very impressive traction. We love working with founders like Iskra, who are creating products and services that address real world problems that have been overlooked," said Anthony Kelani, Managing Partner of Quake Capital in Los Angeles. "Angel Shave Club is addressing a real problem in the shaving industry and has created a solution to overpriced women's shaving products, all while giving back to women around the world. We're very happy to have the Angel Shave Club team as part of our accelerator program."

Quake Capital's investment allows Angel Shave Club to continue to competitively participate in the growing subscription service market. The accelerator program also has the potential to increase the company's revenue by 100-150 percent. In addition to funding, Angel Shave Club will receive access to Quake resources for life, intense hands-on mentorship from Quake mentors for 12 weeks, connections to Quake's expansive network, and an office space for three months.

Angel Shave Club began the accelerator program on March 19.
