About the Movement
An increasing number of angel investors invest online through equity crowdfunding or organize themselves into angel groups or angel networks to pool resources. Over the last 15 years, the amount of angel capital going to women founders has increased with the number of women angel investors.
​
We believe that intentional efforts designed to increase the number of black people involved in angel investing will lead to more black entrepreneurs receiving angel capital....often the first step in getting on the trajectory to venture capital.
​
Our signature Angels in the Making® curriculum provides an unparalleled experience providing meaning about the role angel investors play in the capital ecosystem coupled with practical know-how in deal-making and evaluation.
There is no cost to take this course, and it is available through Teachable.
