Women Tech Meetup: Angel Investment vs. Venture Capital
Angels or VCs? Choosing Your First Check Wisely
When it’s time to raise your first serious funding, the big question looms — do you start with angels and smaller checks, or go big with venture capital? There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but there is wisdom in hearing from those who’ve been there.
Join us for an honest conversation with powerhouse female founders and angel investors as we explore:
The real benefits of angel funding (beyond the money)
When it makes sense to take VC capital — and when to wait
How to align your investor choice with your long-term vision
We’ll gather at the stunning Canopy flagship location in San Francisco, Jackson Square, surrounded by inspiring company, great conversation, champagne, and amazing food.
DRESS CODE: ALL BLACK.
