Angel Investor Masterclass delivered by AwakenAngels
Are you an academic researcher exploring the frontiers of entrepreneurship and innovation?
If your work intersects with scaling ventures, entrepreneurial ecosystems, or investment readiness—as part of the Atlantic Futures research initiative—this Angel Investing Masterclass offers an exceptional opportunity to deepen your applied understanding of the early-stage funding landscape.
Angel investing is not just capital—it’s a lever for growth, innovation, and systemic impact.
Join our 90-minute online masterclass to explore the mechanics and mindset behind this powerful investment approach. This session is particularly valuable for those in academic or policy-focused roles seeking firsthand insights into how startups secure early capital and scale.
What you’ll gain:
A Researcher’s View into Practice: Understand the dynamics of angel investment within start-up ecosystems and the role investors play in venture scaling.
Analytical Tools: Learn frameworks for assessing risk/return, performing due diligence, and analyzing startup valuations—tools that are just as relevant in research as in practice.
Portfolio Strategy: Discover how angel investors construct diversified portfolios aligned with financial and impact goals.
Real-World Engagement: Gain practical insights into how pitches are evaluated and investment decisions made in high-uncertainty contexts.
Interactive Dialogue: Engage in Q&A with seasoned investors and connect with a growing network of like-minded women building financial and intellectual capital in this space.
Why attend?
This is more than an introduction—it’s a chance to bridge research with real-world practice, enriching your academic perspective on entrepreneurial finance and policy while building personal confidence in the world of early-stage investing.

Thanks to our funders InterTradeIreland and the Shared Island Intiative. In February 2024, the Irish Government announced €30m of funding towards the establishment of a new Shared Island Enterprise Scheme developed by InterTradeIreland, Invest Northern Ireland and Enterprise Ireland. The funding for this scheme will support the delivery of new programmes and supports for businesses across the island of Ireland, including in the areas of Women’s Entrepreneurship, Clustering, and Green Enterprise - the Shared Island Sustainability Capital Grant Scheme. The Shared Island Enterprise Scheme marks a new phase in all-island economic collaboration and business growth and the first time that three of the main economic development agencies have worked together on a shared scheme of this size.
