Register Agenda: 8:30-9:30AM - Keynote Speaker: AngelCon 2024 Investor Panel 9:30-10AM - In Person Networking Hear from three Angel Investors as they share their experience being part of AngelCon 2024. An angel investor (also known as a private investor, seed investor or angel funder) is a high-net-worth individual who provides financial backing for small startups or entrepreneurs, typically in exchange for ownership equity in the company. While most people know AngelCon as a pitch competition that happens once a year; becoming an investor is a year-long training process that leads up to the main event. A panel of AngelCon 2024 investors will share what the process was like, what they seek in a startup, and hold open Q&A for attendees.
