Education

In the Pipeline Angels's Training, investors will engage in workshops covering topics like bias in investing, due diligence, valuation, and impact investing, led by experts in the industry – venture capitalists, experienced angel investors, and impact investors.
Guided Practice
Each participant commits a minimum of $5,000 to invest in a startup that is chosen by the trainees through the pitch summit and investment decision process.

"I went through Pipeline Angel's training and it was a phenomenal experience in learning about angel investing, the legal aspects, the financial aspects, how to do due diligence. And then even beyond that it was an amazing opportunity to meet incredible women who were like-minded and also interested in kind of changing the trajectory of way businesses are funded."

Pipeline Angels really looked for the underestimated and the underrepresented. I met people who I may not have other otherwise have met through my journey. I've learned a lot about investing. I've learned a lot about other people and other people's culture, and I met another sisterhood and it's been, it's been life changing. - Althea G.

Pipeline Angels is a really great place to learn how to make those objectives work together instead of what we're generally taught and what is often assumed, which is that when you invest in women and fems and women of color specifically, that is a charitable giving opportunity.
