Future Angels: How to invest in startups
How to invest in startups
Join us for our first event of this series to get insight into how to get started on your angel investment journey. We will be covering the key basics of everything you need to know and we will be joined by an active angel investor who will share their story to give you some insight into how they got started and what they have learned.
About Future Angels
Future Angels is a new initiative with a mission to encourage more diversity in the investment world. Currently, only 15-18% of all angel investors are women, just 1% of angel investors are black, and there is a general lack of diversity of thought and experience to appropriately represent the need for capital and innovation.
The world of Venture Capital can feel quite difficult to get into, and if you don’t know anyone who is actively investing in startups, who do you learn from? How do you get started?
We launched Future Angels to provide a valuable community to the next generation of angel investors with an aim to create a space for you to meet with other like-minded individuals where you can learn, build connections, and develop the skills to become an angel investor.
We believe that by demystifying the world of Venture Capital and creating a valuable community we can make it more accessible and encourage people from all backgrounds to become angel investors.
