We want to help angels to become confident in writing checks, contributing and making money. For this reason we prepared a program, consisting of an online course and live sessions, with content and practical experience!

However, we still have to record it. And right now, we want to give you the opportunity to participate for free OR subscribe for more benefits!

Yes, you heard right!

The classes are not online yet. Only now you get the unique opportunity to watch the program for free while we record it.

This program is for people, who want to professionalize their business angel career. Our goal is to improve your experience as an angel investor and generate a better outcome for you and for your startups!

HOW WILL IT WORK?

How does angel investing work? What different kinds are there? Where can you find startups? How can you avoid common mistakes? And how can you support a startup from scouting over becoming profitable until the exit?

Once a week we’ll stream a class on YouTube where we answer these questions and more - for free and in a relaxed atmosphere.

However, the streams will not be saved on our channel. OR…
