Based on the Angel Capital Education Foundation’s course of the same name, it promises to provide an overview of the angel investment process. The course is aimed at:

  • Successful entrepreneurs who have exited from their businesses and have an interest in staying involved in early stage companies.
  • High net-worth individuals with senior business experience who now have the time and interest in investing in early stage companies.
  • Angel investors who have done from one to three deals.
  • Community leaders and entrepreneurial support professionals who are interested in promoting angel investing in their communities.

It’s an all day course, and the cost is between $300-$400 depending on whether or not you’re a member of an associated angel club.  It will be interesting to see whether the penny gap or time elasticity of demand (a whole day is a lot of time to be sitting in front of an instructor) effect attendance.

They’re also running free courses for entrepreneurs on Power Pitching and An Essential Guide to Capital Raising.
