Event Details
Considering an angel investment? This event will help you make better decisions on where and when to invest and how to provide support to the founder after you write that check.
As our angel community expands though Chicago Booth Angels Network (CBAN) pitch events, so has interest in learning how to start, manage, and grow an angel investment portfolio. We will be looking at this topic from the vantage point of an experienced VC partner who speaks and writes regularly on this topic and a start-up founder who pitched at a previous CBAN event and secured money from those in attendance. The evening will include time for interaction with the panelists and networking before and after their presentations. Light appetizers and beer, wine, and soda will be served.
