“Become an Angel Investor” was the first of four events that were part of Angel Fest 2021. With the help of the panelists, the event educated attendees on the basics of angel investing, so as to both introduce individuals to the concept of angel investing, as well as to inspire people to become an angel investor. The panelists shared why they themselves got into angel investing, highlighting their different motivations for doing so, and tactical details such as the multiple entry points into angel investing.

We are proud partners of the Catalyst Angel Program which helps emerging angel investors in the Great Lakes Region who identify as Black, Latinx, and/or women.

Participants gain a deeper understanding of angel investing, engage in curated virtual courses, and connect with peers. The program includes six, 2 hour long, virtual courses taught through the Angel Capital Association’s Angel University—free of cost.

The Catalyst Angel Program has a rolling application through August 31, 2024. However, once a year we lead a special Minnesota Fall Cohort, which further connects Catalyst Angel Program participants in Minnesota. The Fall Cohort includes bonus Minnesota focused content and in person events. It is a great way to build a community of Minnesota-based angels going through the program with you, and the chance to meet participants who’ve already gone through the program.

Check out the 2022 Minnesota Fall Cohort details here and stay tuned for 2023 details to be announced. For more information contact Mickayla Rosard at mickayla@groovecap.com.
