Everything You've Always Wanted to Know About Angel Investing But Have Been Afraid to Ask
For most early stage founders, finding the "right angel investor" can be the key to early success. But we rarely talk about just what is the "right angel investor"? Where do you find them? What are they looking for?
With that in mind, Midwest House has invited a few of our favorite folks to visit GR for an exclusive event to talk all things Angel Investing:
Wolf Starr: Wolf is Chief Executive Officer at Venture Atlas and a Consultant for the Ohio Angel Collective. He is focused on proving that although venture funding is absolutely not right for everybody, capital needs to be equally accessible to anybody. His firm is focused on empowering and uplifting overlooked and underrepresented founders.
James Feagin: James currently serves as the Head of Growth at EcoMap, a leading ecosystem intelligence AI software that transforms the way hyperlocal information is accessed.
James has spent the last 20+ years as a disruptor, delivering innovation, impact and equity to the fields of corporate responsibility, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship and mobility.
With a proven ability to think “from the boardroom to the barbershop,” James enjoys sharing Detroit’s ecosystem successes, and lessons learned, with other communities.
This session will provide valuable insights for both founders...and investors. What are angles looking for in potential investments? How can you approach them effectively? What kind of questions should you both be asking once there seems to be a match?
Whether you're seeking funding or want to learn more about becoming an angel yourself, this event will have something for you...even if it's just the food, drink, and vibes that will follow the discussion!
