Wrap up the Round
Investors! Join us for this online session on January 16th, where we feature founders looking to fill out their round.
We hear from so many founders that are so, so close to wrapping up their financing. So we figured why not spotlight them in a hour long online session and make it easier for individual investors to participate?

“Big shout out to Pieter Dorsman and Irene Dorsman of Angel Forum.
I attended their Western Angel Investment Summit today. They've built an incredible community, and incredible event. Great speakers, good pitches, smart, interesting people - an embarrassment of riches.
No wonder the event was sold out.”

D.M. - Investor
Thank you for all that you've done for the investor community. I've thoroughly enjoyed the forums, meeting other angel investors and being introduced to so many exciting companies. That certainly would not have been possible without all your efforts.
