Angel investing can be very lucrative and a whole lot of fun, but it is also risky and complicated. Many new angel investors fail to educate themselves and because of that, they lose money on the first investments they make and stop angel investing. Because this is exactly what we DON’T WANT TO HAPPEN, we’re launching a six-month training program to better educate and prepare new and aspiring angels. Here are the details:
