Today I’m attending the first Bay Area Pipeline Fellowship Conference. The Pipeline Fellowship Conference is an all-day event on angel investing open to the public. Speakers include serial entrepreneurs, experienced angel investors, and VCs.
The Pipeline Fellowship trains women philanthropists to become angel investors through education, mentoring, and practice. Fellows commit to invest in a woman-led for-profit social venture in exchange for equity and a board seat.
12% of Angel investors are women 3% are angel investors of color. Because the number is small doesn’t mean it’s zero. @nakisnakis #PFconf

Below is the Halo Report a collaborative project between Silicon Valley Bank, Angel Resource Institute & data powered by CB Insights. This project highlights angel group investment activity and emerging trends throughout the United States and provides much sought after data that has not been previously available to entrepreneurs or early stage investors.
