So You Want to be an Angel Investor?
For over 30 years, the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network (OEN) has been helping founders start up and scale up by connecting them to peers and mentors, funding opportunities, and hands-on business training.
But did you know that for twenty of those years we have also been growing the capital side of the entrepreneur equation through our Angel Oregon programs? Teaching individuals who have never invested before to learn the ins and outs of angel investing – from determining an investment thesis to participating in the due diligence process and understanding term sheets.
First time investors in OEN Angel Oregon programs learn these skills, and more, alongside more seasoned angel investors.
The OEN team will be hosting a virtual InvestOR event on Tuesday, April 2nd from 4:00 – 5:30 pm focused on an introduction to angel investing in Oregon and OEN Angel Oregon programs – which bring together first-time and experienced angel investors to invest as a group in regional companies.
Join us to find out how OEN is activating angel investors while providing training, growth, and funding in the innovation ecosystem.
