Why this topic matters

​I sat on the sidelines of Angel Investing, watching for 6+ months before writing my first check because I didn't think I had the knowledge or the capital to get in the game. ​In this session, I'll share the aha moments, insights, and math that got me over the hump and writing checks. This is for anyone curious about angel investing but who hasn't written their first check, and for experienced angels who want to sharpen their framework.
