Participants will learn how to assess their businesses’ readiness for funding; identify and connect with angel networks; and navigate the investment process from valuation to deal negotiation. With case studies, expert insights and practical exercises, this workshop equips small-business owners to confidently pursue angel investment opportunities to fuel their growth.
