    Angel Investing Overview

The more angel investors, entrepreneurs, community and business leaders, and startup support professionals know about executing the fundamental pieces of the angel investment process, the better positioned they are for generating greater returns and building stronger ecosystems.

Angel Investing Overview is the leading workshop for educating angel investors, entrepreneurs and startup support professionals about how to execute the early-stage and angel investment process.

For more than 10 years, the Angel Investing Overview seminar has been the education seminar of choice for growing, strengthening and developing the skill sets of early-stage deal participants throughout the U.S. and abroad.

Angel Groups and Investors that understand how to execute and manage the process of early-stage equity investing are in a better position to lower risk and increase returns.
