Women Funding Innovation through Angel Investing

Please join WIN and KPMG as we seek to help expand the number of women investors and women-led high-growth businesses in the greater Philadelphia region. At this event, we’ll introduce you to many aspects of angel investing, including: how much money is needed to be an investor, how to source deals, how diligence works, how to value an investment, and much, much more.

During this session, Ellen Weber of Robin Hood Ventures will help us understand:

• The basics of angel investing, including how to connect to investment resources and experienced angel investors, and the inside secrets of investing in early stage companies
• How to make a difference by leveraging your expertise to help new businesses grow and succeed
• How to uncover the personal and community benefits of angel investing
• How to make money as an angel investor. While investing can be risky, when angels get a homerun, it can provide 10X or more in returns. Plus, many early-stage investments qualify for favorable tax treatment.
• And most important….how to have fun while working with energetic entrepreneurs
