WEBINAR
What is Your Angel Strategy?
with Chris Rangen & Rick Rasmussen
8th July 2024, 18:00 – 19:00 CEST
Globally, there are 1000’s and 1000’s of angels and 100’s of angel networks. In most markets, early-stage angel investors are crucial to the success of the local startup ecosystem. Yet, as we have come to learn, few angels and angel networks actually have a strategy for the important work that they are doing. In our work with global angel investors and angel networks around the world, spanning from Middle East to the Nordics, from Silicon Valley to East Asia, we are repeatedly amazed by the enthusiasm, the supporting mindset and the willingness to roll up the sleeves and work with founders.
From real estate developers turned business angels, family offices acting as angel investors, retired executives spending a significant amount of their (suddenly) free time on angel investing and even startup founders-turned-angels; all of them want to invest successfully and help their companies succeed. Yet, when we ask, few of any actually have a strategy for their work.
In this hands-on webinar we will collect our insights and learnings from running 100’s of hours angel training sessions and Masterclasses and share with experienced angels, emerging angels and future angels, to help you improve your angel investing strategy and long-term success.
Over the past three years the team at Strategy Tools has developed and delivered a large number of angel investor training programs, online programs, Masterclasses and strategy advisory. This has also led to the formation of the Angel Investor Toolkit, a brand-new-never-before-shared collection of powerful, visual canvases to help angel investors succeed.
