Angel investing isn’t just about picking great startups — it’s about building a portfolio that can withstand uncertainty and compound over time.

In “Portfolio Power: How Smart Angels Reduce Risk Through Diversification,” we’ll break down how experienced angel investors think about diversification across stages, sectors, geographies, and check sizes — and why portfolio construction is just as important as deal selection.

This session is designed for current and aspiring angel investors who want to move beyond intuition and learn practical strategies to reduce risk, manage exposure, and increase the odds of strong outcomes over the long run. Expect real examples, honest trade-offs, and actionable insights you can apply to your own investment strategy.

IEBS Business School is organizing the Trends Summit 2026, an online event that will take place on Thursday, February 26 at 6:00 p.m. (Spain time). The event will focus on the key trends that are already impacting companies and professionals.

The summit will bring together experts in economics, artificial intelligence, talent, and marketing from KPMG, Metricool, knowmad mood, PwC, among others. They will share how they are interpreting the current context and which strategic decisions are being made today with a view toward 2026.

A space to understand the context and make informed decisions

The world no longer changes through predictable cycles, but through economic, technological, social, and cultural signals that are already shaping the direction of the coming years. In this scenario, the organizations and professionals that move forward are not those who try to predict the future, but those who are able to read the context early and connect trends with real decisions.
