13fund. A Joint Venture in Angel Philanthropy

13 Fund is a foundation started by Bilal Mahmood and Jason Shen, two entrepreneurs who exited their companies in 2020 and wanted to give back to the communities that supported them. Over the next four years, 13 Fund will contribute $100k in unrestricted funds to emerging nonprofits tackling local issues in San Francisco and New York such as small-business development, homelessness, and mass incarceration using a uniquely transparent and principle-driven approach that they call "angel philanthropy".
