A day at Curve Club: the Angels Den Investor Bootcamp
Want to back startups, or build a career in venture capital? Spend a day learning how investors make decisions, at Curve Club in Hoxton, with guest facilitators from UK startup investing.
Angels Den has been connecting founders and investors for almost 20 years and has helped fund hundreds of UK startups. In this practical, in-person bootcamp, we take you through a real investment process step by step: first screening a startup, then forming a view, and finally defending your decision to an investment committee.
This isn't a lecture series. You'll work on live material, think the way investors think and leave knowing how a deal actually gets done.
Who it's for
Aspiring angel investors who want a clear, disciplined way to back early-stage companies
Aspiring VC professionals who want the practical skills and judgement that venture firms look for
Founders and operators who want to understand how investors assess them
Four masterclasses
Angel investing and VC fundamentals. Investment stages from pre-seed to Series A, how to think about a portfolio, and what makes a startup investable.
Screening and due diligence. How to filter dealflow quickly, spot red flags early and check the team, market, traction and numbers.
Valuation, terms and deal structure. How early-stage valuations get set, the term sheet clauses that matter, and how SEIS/EIS change the risk and return.
Making and defending the decision. How to build an investment case, present it to a panel and stand behind it when you're challenged.
What you'll leave with
A repeatable framework for judging startups
Experience of a live investment decision from start to finish
Time with the guest facilitators and the Angels Den team
Contacts in Angels Den's network of investors, founders and venture professionals
A clear next step, whether that's your first angel cheque or your first role in VC
Guest facilitators are announced before the day. There are 50 places.
