Connect, Collaborate, Invest: A Purpose-Driven Experience
In Lisbon for Web Summit? Let's turn connections into impact.
What if investing could do more than generate returns? What if it could help build a better world?
Join us in Lisbon during Web Summit for an interactive, in-person workshop where you'll explore exciting startups, exchange ideas with experienced investors, and discover how investing together can create meaningful impact.
Angel investing isn't just about finding promising companies. It's also about the people you learn from, the perspectives you bring together, and the community you build along the way.
Our panellists will lead an engaging conversation on angel investing, startup ecosystems, and leadership, exploring how we can connect, collaborate, and invest to create a greater collective impact.
