The Capital Network Presents:
Not all angel groups are created equal. Hear from the leaders of the top angel groups in Boston on where to begin when you are approaching angel groups. Learn what to expect, what they like to see, and how to make your application and pitch stand out.
Questions answered will include:
– How do you approach angel groups? How do you get a Champion?
– What are the most important parts of the application? What aspects of my company will Angels care most about?
– What is the best way to prepare for your pitch to an angel group?
– What about the JOBs act and the new solicitation rules, how does that change the landscape?
