We had a founder just receive a $200,000 verbal commitment after 1 meeting. Despite attending our live investor call as just an audience member, here’s how she did it: ✅ this founder chose the open Q & A to introduce themself ✅ she kept her intro short ✅ had a specific ask about the investors fund & views on the industry ✅ expressed gratitude for what the investor shared to the group ✅ asked for a short intro call to discuss deeper at a later date if they were open to it ✅ didn’t force a pitch deck & chose to keep it conversational ✅ constantly asks questions & remains coachable in our program - making it easy for us to advocate for her A check doesn’t count until it hits the bank, but this has created momentum in her fundraise & it’s just the beginning. For pre-seed to seed stage ready to fundraise faster, apply to our program at the link in my bio 💪

Taking inspiration from Amy's post, Several ways to start the new week with positivity and cheers. 1. Set Intentions: Take some time to reflect on your goals and intentions for the week ahead. Write them down and remind yourself of what you want to accomplish. 2. Practice Gratitude: Start your week by expressing gratitude for the things you have in your life. This can help shift your focus to the positive aspects and create a more optimistic mindset. 3. Plan Something Fun: Schedule something enjoyable or exciting for the upcoming week. It could be a lunch date with a friend, a movie night, or a new activity you've been wanting to try. Having something to look forward to can boost your mood. 4. Exercise: Engaging in physical activity releases endorphins, which are natural mood boosters. Consider starting your week with a workout session or a brisk walk to energize yourself and promote positivity. 5. Practice Self-Care: Prioritize self-care activities that make you feel good. It could be taking a relaxing bath, reading a book, or practicing mindfulness meditation. Taking care of yourself sets a positive tone for the rest of the week. 6. Connect with Loved Ones: Reach out to friends or family members and plan to spend time together during the week. Social connections can enhance your mood and provide a sense of support and positivity. Remember, starting the week with positivity and cheers is all about finding activities and practices that resonate with you and bring joy into your life.

Big spike on Captal.co from HNWI angels.. since reframing our ICP. Heres the problem... Their experience and sophistication ranges drastically! We NEEEDED to develop a LARGE amount of training and community to make it easier to invest in the best companies. Thats a MASSIVE lift. Except Brian Nichols has already done it! Why reinvent the wheel?? What Angel Squad is doing is amazing things for Angels everywhere! Peer to peer learning, events, training, etc. (also check out Hustle Fund)

At Angel Squad, we say all the time that getting better at angel investing is about getting your reps in. But we don’t only preach it, we practice it too. Hustle Fund GP, Elizabeth Yin, has done over 700 deals 🤯 And the great news is that we’re able to invest alongside Hustle Fund GPs, like EY, to accelerate the learning curve that happens as you do deals over time. If you’re looking for a community to get in more reps, and learn from + invest alongside GPs that have done the same, that’s what we’re about at Angel Squad.

Moonfare's "Private Equity Starter Course" email masterclass is, to me, one of the most comprehensive, insightful and interesting courses about finance / investment / private equity that I have ever read and learnt. Definitely a shortcut to absorb the most essential knowledge about private equity and investment.
