The Secrets of Angel Investing Unwrapped

Whether you're a seasoned investor, or interested in getting into this game, there are many unanswered questions that can shake your nerve when looking for the next exciting venture. How can I relate to the founder's style of management, how do I prepare for exit, what valuation methodology should I use?

I, along with my long term friend Modwenna Rees-Mogg, discussed this very issue just over a year ago, and we've found a solution! We have put together an Angel Masterclass programme that covers every aspect of investing in UK businesses today!

Time is a precious commodity, so this Masterclass programme is designed in a flexible way to enable you to choose which modules suit your needs. Do one module, or do all three, it is bespoke to the needs of the busy investor. Modwenna will be leading the Masterclass sessions. She started her entrepreneurial journey twenty years ago and since then founded AngelNews, is a leading investor news provider, and is a thought leader in the wider private investor market. She has authored two books ‘Crowdfunding, How to raise money and make money in the crowd’ and ‘Dragons or Angels’, a handbook for people wanting to become or raise money from business angels. She is a Visiting Fellow at Cranfield University and has recently been appointed UK High Commissioner for the World Business Angels Forum.

Modwenna and I both appreciate that making early stage investments is a risky business, and up to now there hasn't been a fit for purpose masterclass that not only covers all aspects of investing, but also puts you in a room with other like-minded individuals to learn within a powerful 'collective classroom'.

Our own research showed that 70% of our 8,500 strong senior executive community wanted investment training. Modwenna's wealth of experience on the pleasures and pitfalls of investing will help every investor make better decisions on building a sound portfolio that can be put into practice straight away. Later this month sees the unwraping of weeks of planning to deliver these all important investment secrets!

The first module will explore the UK angel market in more detail including how the market operates and potential tax breaks. It will also look at the different roles you can take on within the venture, what outcomes to expect, how a deal formulates structurally and how to identify a deal which is right for you. The second module delves further down to explore legal aspects including indemnities and warranties, due diligence, and will give attendees a greater understanding of the complicated detail terms and liquidation preferences. The final module takes you through post investment and preparing to exit.
