What's the question?

What curious learners want to know

What is angel investing? Don't you have to be ultra wealthy? What can I do as an angel?
These questions and more will be answered on August 3rd at 5:30 p.m. with experienced angels, Scott Maloney and Will Little during the 1-hour "Demystifying Startup Investing" webinar.

Make an Impact

Angels leverage their expertise to help new businesses grow and succeed, changing the economic future of an entire region by investing in small startup companies that eventually employ dozens or hundreds of people.

Diversify Your Portfolio

While angel investing can be risky, when angels get a home run, it can provide a 10X or more return. Plus many early-stage investments qualify for favorable tax treatment.

Have Fun!

Working with energetic entrepreneurs and getting a front-row seat for mold-breaking innovations is fun! Nothing is more exciting than the spark of a promising new idea.

Got questions?
Here are some answers.

When are the classes?

Classes are every Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. PDT starting September 14. The last day of class is October 19. Class run time is about 90-120 minutes.

Will any of the classes be in person?

Yes! The first and last classes will have an in-person option for those who can do so. This is an opportunity to meet other potential angels and begin conversations about investment in our region.

What if I am only able to attend virtually?

All six classes will be held virtually, with the first and last classes having an in-person option.

So are you asking me for money?

Haha, nope! SP3NW serves the Inland Northwest by providing educational opportunities that give community members the tools to make wise decisions that support economic growth.

Yes, these FREE courses are a stepping stone on the way to becoming an accredited investor. However, taking them does not obligate you to move forward with the knowledge they provide.

But don’t you have to be really wealthy?

It used to be that only the ultra-rich could be investors, but now one in ten people qualify.

Who is teaching the classes?

All of the instructors are accredited and experienced angel investors.

SP3NW hand-selected instructors from ACA’s faculty. They are familiar with and have invested in the economy in our region.
