[NEXT] A Guide for the Angel-Curious

​A Guide for the Angel-Curious
Lunch & Learn with Alan Tsen, Cremorne Digital Hub

Founders can sometimes fall into a binary view of investment: early money comes from family and friends, and the real capital comes from VCs further down the track.

​What often gets missed is what sits in between — angels. Making yourself findable to them before you're even actively raising — understanding how they think, what segments them, what motivates them — can shape how you build your business and manage investor relationships long before you're ever sitting across from a fund.

​This Lunch & Learn is designed to help founders who want to understand the angel landscape well enough to navigate it, and anyone potentially interested in the world of angel investment themselves.

​Alan Tsen will walk through what angel investing actually is, and what drives individual angels to back the companies they back. We'll also get into the practical side — what makes a company attractive to early-stage angels and how founders build and manage those relationships well.

​Opening with conversational content, followed by Q&A towards the end of the hour.
