Pegasus Angel Accelerator Rebrands as 1752VC to Reflect a New Era of Discovery in Venture Capital
Santa Monica, CA - Oct 27, 2025 - Pegasus Angel Accelerator, a leading early-stage venture firm, today announced its rebrand to 1752VC [http://1752.vc] - a name inspired by the year Benjamin Franklin proved lightning was electricity with his famous kite experiment.
The rebrand marks more than a change in name; it reflects a new mission and mindset for a rapidly shifting era. Just as Franklin's experiment unlocked a force that transformed the world, 1752VC sees the rise of artificial intelligence and frontier innovation as today's defining moment - a critical conjuncture where human creativity and technological acceleration converge.
"In 1752, Franklin's discovery reshaped humanity's understanding of energy," said Lucas J. Pols, General Partner at 1752VC. "We believe we're living through an equally transformative time. The entrepreneurs we back aren't just building companies - they're redefining how intelligence, capital, and culture intersect."
Since its founding, Pegasus Angel Accelerator has supported hundreds of founders and emerging investors through hands-on startup programs and investor-focused initiatives. Its alumni have gone on to raise capital, build category-defining companies, and join leading venture firms across the ecosystem.
The new name, 1752VC, honors the spirit of curiosity, experimentation, and boldness that drove the original age of enlightenment - reimagined for the AI era.
"Just as Franklin's discovery helped unlock the understanding of electricity that would later power the modern world, founders today are transforming data into intelligence that will power the next," said Ben Kahan, Senior Associate at 1752VC. "Our mission is to help channel that energy into purpose, progress, and long-term value creation."
1752VC will continue to invest in and accelerate early-stage startups through its expanding suite of founder and investor programs, with new initiatives focused on AI, frontier tech, and next-generation capital formation.
