The Modern Angel Playbook: How syndicates, operators, and technology are reshaping early-stage investing
Angel investing has evolved, and the playbook has changed.
Today’s most effective angels invest through syndicates, collaborate with operators, and are able to spin up SPVs using a variety of off-the-shelf tools. The Modern Angel Playbook brings together leading syndicate operators, investors, and industry voices for a focused evening on how early-stage deals are being evaluated today and what’s changing about the fundraising landscape.
The summit will feature two conversations:
Panel 1: Collaborative Capital
How syndicates, angels, and operators are investing differently, and showing that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
This discussion will examine how conviction is built collaboratively, how access and allocation are secured, and what founders value most from early investors today.
Panelists:
Jess Schram, Remedy Investments
Emma Pratt, Girl Math Capital
David Yakobovitch, Datapower Ventures
Laurent Span, SPAN Ventures
Panel 2: The Future of Funding
Signals, data, and new decision-making frameworks
An exploration of how alternative capital formation is reshaping the funding environment and what this means for angels and syndicates evaluating opportunities of all shapes and sizes.
Featuring:
Cheryl Kellond, Play Money
Hamza Shad, Carta Insights
Jenn Halweil, #GoBeyond
Steve Gluckman, SkillBurst Interactive
Who Should Attend
Angels and syndicate LPs
Operator-angels and emerging managers
Founders who want insight into how early-stage investors evaluate deals
Founders are intentionally invited into the room, not to pitch, but to gain a clear view into how modern angels form conviction, what signals matter most and why raising traditional VC is no longer the only path to building a successful company.
