Part 2 - Foundations of Angel Investing: Community, Capital, Impact
🛠️ Deal Mechanics, Diligence, & The Showcase
Go from observer to active investor.
While Part I focuses on the "Why," Part II is designed for those ready to master the "How." In this six-session intensive, we dive deep into the technical landscape of impact deal-making.
Presented by Investors Circle, IFEL, and She Invests, this series provides the rigorous training needed to navigate term sheets, determine valuations, and conduct due diligence—all while maintaining a founder-first, impact-driven ethos.
The series culminates in a Live Selection Showcase, where you will put your training into practice by evaluating four pre-seed impact startups.
