Lessons from Two Decades of Angel Investing
by Rob Weber | at Minnebar 20
My brother Ryan and I have been investing in the early stages for 20+ years. Since we started investing together back in 2005, we’ve been involved with 60+ companies. I am going to pull back the curtain on what those two decades have actually looked like—beyond just the headlines.
Whether you are an active angel investor or someone just starting to explore the space, I’d love to have you join me.
I plan to cover several practical topics, including:
- The Long Game: Reality checks on how long exits actually take.
- Post-Investment: How to manage and support your portfolio after the check is signed.
- Deal Flow: Strategies for building a high-quality, consistent pipeline.
- The Founder Perspective: What founders actually value most from their angel investors.
I want this session to be a great resource for our Minnebar community, so if you know of other angel investors or colleagues thinking about getting into the space, please help spread the word of my session.
Hope you can make it!
Best,
Rob Weber
