Pegasus Angel Accelerator (now operating as 1752vc) is a Santa Monica-based accelerator and micro-fund self-described as the '#1 investment and growth acceleration firm in Southern California dedicated to identifying and scaling high-potential startups.' The firm combines strategic capital with deep industry expertise, backing early-stage founders at the inflection point where traction meets acceleration. Its flagship Accelerate program writes $100K checks at a valuation cap of up to $3.5M, targeting startups with paying customers who are ready to move from founder-led hustle to scalable systems, GTM precision, and investor readiness. The program is industry-agnostic and remote-first, offering a hyper-personalized 12-week curriculum covering brand strategy, fundraising, go-to-market execution, and scaling operations. General Partner Lucas J. Pols focuses on B2B SaaS, Energy, and the Future of Work, with particular conviction around the middleware and application layers of AI. Beyond capital, Pegasus provides access to a network of 850+ mentors and advisors, strategic advisory board construction, and facilitated introductions to follow-on investors.
Notable quotes
“MedSetGo embodies exactly the kind of founder-led innovation Pegasus was built to support. Healthcare is long overdue for innovation, and Shrey and his team are using AI not just to address inefficiencies, but to reimagine how patients experience care. Their oversubscribed round is a testament to both their vision and execution.”
“We're writing $100K checks this fall. Our remote-first program starts as soon as you're accepted — no fixed dates, no wasted time. You'll get a hyper-personalized curriculum focused on your biggest bottlenecks — GTM, sales, fundraising, and scaling.”
“At 1752, Lucas backs startups at the inflection point — where traction meets acceleration — and trains the next generation of venture investors through the Venture Fellow Program. He emphasizes high-signal sourcing, founder evaluation, and conviction-driven investing with a GTM-first lens.”
