About the Workshop

Have you ever wondered where the founders of Google got the money to start Google?  Do you have an idea and just need that first $100,000 to get you to the next level?  If you have ever considered any of these situations, then the Angel Financing Workshop is for you.

Come and learn what an Angel Investor does?  Where can you find them?  Turns out they have two legs and two hands just like the rest of us.  At this workshop, you’ll learn what an Angel Investor expects in terms of returns, you’ll learn how to speak their language and you’ll also get the opportunity to network with other entrepreneurs just like yourselves.
