Given the slow pace of VC funding, many founders are turning to angel investors. Whether you're a first-time founder or a serial entrepreneur, a strong network of angels can help with not just a check, but also with mentorship, strategic introductions, and future fundraising. SVB Startup Banking and Fidelity Private Shares are teaming up to help you meet some terrific angel investors and learn how to get the most out of your relationships with angels. Over 25 notable angels will be in attendance.
Who: Founders and operators who are raising money, investors, and community partners who facilitate angel investment
How: We'll curate a group of discussion moderators to facilitate smaller group conversations
What: Discussions around how to find the right angel investors, how to build strong relationships, how to maximize their influence/help, how to use a crowdfunding platform to find new angels, and more. Key takeaways from each session will be shared with attendees aloud before going into the closing networking portion of the event
Please register for each individual who plans to attend since we'll be sending a QR code to your email address to get into the building elevator before the event.
