​Ever wondered how the smartest investors spot the best startups before anyone else?

​This masterclass isn’t theory, it’s a front-row seat with real angels who’ve built portfolios across many regions and industries.

​We will pull back the curtain on how they create investing strategies, even with limited time or capital.

​Pedro Bandeira and Steven Dossou, will walk you through the fundamentals of startup portfolio strategy, co-investment with venture funds, and smart allocation of your wealth into early-stage ventures.

​By the end, you’ll leave with your own Angel Canvas, a personalized blueprint defining your investment focus, capital allocation, and strategy to start making informed investment decisions.

​What You’ll Uncover:

​✅ Why most investors fail at startup investing.

​✅ How smart money balances risk while targeting high returns.

​✅ The edge of venture funds vs individual angel investing.

​✅ Real-world examples of angel portfolios: The wins, the losses, and the lessons.

​✅ (Interactive Bonus) Design your Angel Canvas: Your compass to take the first step while avoiding costly mistakes.

​Who It’s For:

  • ​Emerging or aspiring angel investors looking to take the first step.

  • ​Wealthy individuals seeking diversification beyond real estate or stocks

  • ​Family offices and fund LPs exploring direct startup exposure

  • ​Corporate executives or entrepreneurs ready to support innovation
