Founder of Angel Squad | I teach professionals how to invest in startups with help from seasoned VC investors | Investor & Advisor
Here’s how I built a community of 2,000+ angel investors. 1. Start with a mission that’s personally meaningful to you For me, this was teaching others how to get into angel investing in a no a**hole environment. 2. Rapidly ask for feedback When I started Angel Squad, my original thesis was that folks would join for the deals. It turns out, education and relationship building are two of the top reasons our members join and stay with the program. 3. Empower your community to lead Angel Squad’s structure is decentralized. We have members in 40+ countries around the world and many of the top cities. I couldn’t run the whole program by myself. Some of our Squad Members have taken on additional responsibility, becoming local “leads” for their respective cities, or even taking part in leading our Venture Fellows program. 4. Give a risk-free offer Today, prospective Squad Members get access to our community for 14 days free. Not interested after your trial? You can walk away, no questions asked. But in these 14 days, you’ll see why so many people call Angel Squad home. If you want to get started, head here https://lnkd.in/g4GnuSjH 5. Have a great partner From Day 1, our edge has been that Hustle Fund is a rare VC that is great at community building. Today, our Members get to participate in Hustle Fund deals, learn from their GPs, and build relationships with their team. It’s an amazing partnership and one that has brought tremendous value to the program.
