The Startup Investor Accelerator (SIA) runs a 12-week program of “learning by doing.” The goal is to help everyone move forward.
Curious about Angel Investing? Join Us for an Introduction Session to this topic
Have you ever wondered how startup investors find, evaluate, and invest in promising companies?
Whether you’re actively considering angel investing or simply curious about how the startup investment ecosystem works, this session is designed to give you an accessible introduction to the world of angel investing. Who is it for? How to get started? What to have in mind? …and more.
During this session, we’ll also introduce the Transatlantic Angel Conference (TAAC)—our flagship hands-on investor training program that helps aspiring and experienced investors learn by doing. Participants work alongside a diverse cohort of investors from Europe and the US, reviewing real startups, conducting due diligence, hearing founder pitches, and ultimately making investment decisions together.
We’ll also be joined by Jelmer Huisman, a TAAC alumnus and returning investor, who will share his personal journey, how the program shaped his development as an angel investor, why he’s participating again, and who can benefit most from the experience.
In this session, we’ll cover:
- What angel investing is and how the ecosystem works
- An introduction to the Transatlantic Angel Conference (TAAC)
- How the learning-by-doing model helps investors gain real-world experience
- Jelmer Huisman’s experience as a TAAC participant and investor
- Who the program is designed for and whether it might be a fit for you
