Panel Theme
The Shifting Funding Landscape: Rewriting the Angel Playbook
The early-stage market is splitting in two. As capital concentrates around deep tech and AI, and software businesses become faster and cheaper to build, angels face a new strategic reality: where is the best risk adjusted opportunity, and what does “value-add” look like now?
This panel is a candid conversation on how angels can stay relevant, effective, and well-positioned in a market where:
Deep tech and AI can demand larger rounds, longer timelines, and more specialist support
Software and consumer businesses may need less capital, move quicker, reshaping how and when angels can get involved
Competition for allocation is increasing, making networks, syndicates, and co-investment structures more important than ever
Event Partner: Impact Shakers
This session is delivered in partnership with Impact Shakers, a European impact VC investing in early-stage startups tackling societal and environmental challenges. Their focus includes ClimateTech, Impact Infrastructure and Inclusion Tech, backing diverse founders building scalable solutions for people and planet.
