Angel investors—also known as private, seed, or angel funders—are individuals who provide critical financial backing to startups or entrepreneurs, typically in exchange for equity in the business. Although AngelCon is best known as an annual pitch competition, the journey to becoming an investor is actually a year-long training experience culminating in this exciting event.
In this panel discussion, AngelCon 2025 investors will reflect on their journey, discuss key factors they look for in startups, and host an interactive Q&A session with attendees.
