From Earning to Owning | Session 1: Money, Mindset and the World of Angel Investing
A six-session programme to build your investor skill set.
You’ve built your career and learned how to earn. Now explore how investing can play a role in building long-term wealth.
Through real investment cases, practical frameworks and expert voices, you’ll learn how venture works, how to assess opportunities and how
What's your relationship with money? What beliefs might be holding you back? And what opportunities could open up if you started thinking differently about wealth and ownership?
Before we explore where and how to invest, we need to understand ourselves - how we think about money, our attitudes towards risk, the experiences that have shaped our financial decisions and the assumptions that might be limiting what's possible.
In this opening in-person session, we'll create a welcoming space for honest conversations, shared experiences and new perspectives.
Led by Sarah King through a coaching-led, interactive approach, we'll explore our individual relationships with money, wealth and risk. We'll challenge some of the beliefs we carry, consider what financial independence and ownership mean to each of us, and begin identifying what might be holding us back from taking the next step.
We'll then turn our attention to the world of angel investing - what it really means to become an angel investor, how angel investing has evolved, and why bringing more women and diverse perspectives into investment decision-making matters.
We'll explore how investors can contribute not just capital, but experience, connections and support to the entrepreneurs building tomorrow's businesses.
Importantly, this first session is also about building our community. Getting to know one another, recognising the different experiences and ambitions we bring, and creating an environment where we can ask questions, challenge assumptions and learn together throughout the programme.
The goal? To begin challenging the beliefs shaping your financial decisions, develop a clearer understanding of angel investing and build the confidence and connections to explore what's possible.
Putting it into practice: Each of you will reflect on your personal relationship with money and risk, and identify three reasons why becoming an angel investor appeals to you.
We'll finish the afternoon with drinks and networking, an opportunity to continue the conversations and build connections with fellow participants and members of our wider EmpowerHER and NoBa investor communities.
