    Introduction to Angel Investing

    February 13th, 2026 - Virtual via Zoom

    Are you "Angel Curious"? Join this session for FREE!

    How does someone learn how to be a successful Angel Investor?

    Engage in the RVC Angel Accelerator program to acquire the necessary skills for successful angel investing. Without such training, new investors might spend years and over $250,000 to learn effective investment strategies on their own. We're here to save you that hard work and heartache! Through hands-on exercises and mentorship from experienced investors, Angel Accelerator offers significant benefits including a promising return on investment, potential tax advantages, insights into cutting-edge innovation, and opportunities to connect with fascinating individuals.

    Join the February 2026 Cohort!

    Beginning with this introduction session, cohort members will dive into the Angel Accelerator program through a combination of asynchronous learning, mastermind sessions, RVC Investor Forums, and virtual office hours. The Angel Accelerator Curriculum is designed to span 10 weeks with 2-5 hours of participation per week. The program can be completed entirely remote, however, there are multiple opportunities to engage in person!

    I'm in! Except... what's the cost?

    Become an RVC Active Investor Member to receive the full workshop and a toolkit full of angel investing resources. With RVC Active Investor Membership, you also receive free access to all events we host annually, which include Monthly Investor Forums, Mastermind Sessions, Due Diligence Deep Dives, Investor Screening Committees, and more!

      RVC Angel Accelerator Week #3: Exit Strategy Workshop

      Friday, Feburary 27, 2025 | 10am - 5 pm MT

      Virtual via Zoom: Meeting link shared upon registration 

      For both investors and entrepreneurs

      How does someone learn how to be a successful Angel Investor?

      Participate in the RVC Angel Accelerator and learn how to be a smart Angel. New Angels who don’t take this workshop often spend years and $250,000 or more learning how to do Angel investing! Receive a great return on investment, avoid taxation, learn about leading-edge innovation and meet interesting people!

      This Angel Accelerator advances Angel Investors' learning with a combination of hands-on exercises, working with experienced angel investor mentors, and solid content and toolkits that you'll need for successful Angel Investing.

      Topics Covered in this Workshop include:

      • Week #3 (Friday, February 27, 2026) - Exit strategy canvas. Learn the six things that smart investors know how to look for in a great exit strategy. Remember - the exit is the only way Angels get their money back! 

        The workshop starts out by “beginning with the end in mind.” The exit strategy workshop is where investors & founders will learn about building value not just for their first customer who buys their product, but for the “second customer” that is likely to acquire the company and return capital to investors.

        For those looking to create strategies around growth and eventual exits (critical for returning capital to investors), this is a must-attend class!

      For your best deal, you should consider ACTIVE INVESTOR MEMBERSHIP in Rockies Venture Club, Colorado's leading angel network. That gets you a FREE pass to this workshop, as well as the Angel 501, Practicum, and other workshops offered every month.  Active Investor membership also gets you free access to the other 140+ events we do every year including the Angel Capital Summit, Colorado Capital Conference Angel Forums and investor-only events.  

      Active Angel Investor members attend free!
