Our Mission
Why Join Pipeline Angels?
Learn exactly what new investors can expect from the training.
Education
Understand the importance of using money for impact. We recognize that only knowledgeable investors will be able to use their dollars to enact change. In the Pipeline Angels Training, investors will engage in workshops covering topics like due diligence, valuation, and impact investing, led by experts in the industry – venture capitalists, experienced angel investors, and impact investors.
Mentoring
When it comes to capital, mentorships matter. When you’re getting started, you may still wonder: What is angel investing, exactly? In our training, participants are paired with seasoned angel investors who guide them through the process and help them take on
new perspectives.
Practice
Each participant commits a minimum of $5,000 to invest in a startup chosen through our pitch summit. This hands-on experience is key to understanding how these processes work in the real world. Participants have the experience they need to keep making big impacts.

Success Stories
Since its inception, the Pipeline Angels Bootcamp has helped launch the investing careers of over 500 members, who have collectively invested millions in socially responsible ventures.
"I went through Pipeline Angel's training and it was a phenomenal experience in learning about angel investing, the legal aspects, the financial aspects, how to do due diligence. And then even beyond that it was an amazing opportunity to meet incredible women who were like-minded and also interested in kind of changing the trajectory of way businesses are funded."

Pipeline Angels really looked for the underestimated and the underrepresented. I met people who I may not have other otherwise have met through my journey. I've learned a lot about investing. I've learned a lot about other people and other people's culture, and I met another sisterhood and it's been, it's been life changing. - Althea G.

Pipeline Angels is a really great place to learn how to make those objectives work together instead of what we're generally taught and what is often assumed, which is that when you invest in women and fems and women of color specifically, that is a charitable giving opportunity.
