Where our capital goes to work

Sun Cruces Angels has backed founders across technology, manufacturing, and services sectors in the Borderplex. These are companies with real traction, real teams, and real potential to reshape the region's economy.

Our portfolio reflects the diversity of talent and ambition here. We back founders who understand the market, who have skin in the game, and who are willing to build something that lasts. Early wins include a logistics platform reducing supply chain friction across the border and a software company solving problems for regional manufacturers.

Each investment comes with more than capital. Our network provides mentorship, connections to customers and partners, and the kind of honest feedback that separates good ideas from great ones. We believe in the founders we back, and we show up when they need us.

The Borderplex has always been a place where things get done. These companies prove it.
