Getting Started with VC Investments

​Startup Investing in Northwest Arkansas: Pathways for U of A Alumni & Community Members

​Join 412 Angels and Dickson & Main for the first event in a new series focused on making angel and venture investing more accessible to the University of Arkansas community.

​We'll explore different ways to get involved in early-stage investing—whether that’s writing individual angel checks, joining a venture fund as a Limited Partner, or finding meaningful ways to support local founders. We’ll also spotlight the growing momentum across Northwest Arkansas and how U of A alumni and community members are helping shape the region’s innovation economy.
