Impact Angel Investing Academy #002 How to Run an Angel Portfolio - Peer to Peer Chat
With AI reshaping early stage rounds, getting in early matters more than ever.
That's why we are launching the Impact Angel Investing Academy for the LBS community: three sessions, from legal structure to peer to peer angel talks to technical assessment, while building a path for angels to learn how to source deals, run diligence, and invest in impact.
Thinking about making your first angel investment, or looking to sharpen how you evaluate deals? Join us for a session with two experienced angel investors who’ll share how they actually build and manage their angel portfolios, from spotting the right deals to knowing when to say no.
