Angel investing can be a high-leverage way to get involved with the startup ecosystem, broaden your network of entrepreneurial people, and apply your talents to a wider set of companies. At the same time, it can be hard to figure out how to source companies, define your brand as an angel, and get started.

If you’re a product manager, engineer, or researcher curious about angel investing, come learn from and meet Bill Chambers from Anyscale, Jaren Glover from Robinhood, and Christina Melas-Kyriazi from Affirm (and now BCV!). 

Due to space constraints, we can only admit attendees that are accepted to attend.
