WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
This workshop will offer you a complete overview of key elements of the fascinating and rewarding Business Angel world. Business Angels invest their own money into seed stage startup companies providing much-needed capital to bring new companies to market. Angels leverage their expertise to help new businesses grow and succeed, changing the economic future of an entire country/region by investing in small startup companies that eventually employ dozens of people. Everyone has their personal story of how they became Business Angel. Join us for a dynamic workshop discussion with a leading expert (Dr. Peter Cowley) to explore the basics of angel investing.
