From Founder to Funder

You are curious about investing. But you have no idea how to start. Let's show you how.

You don't need a finance background to invest in startups.

You just need to understand how it actually works and have the right people in the room to show you.

Startup investing has long felt like a closed door: opaque, jargon-heavy, and built for someone else.

This session opens it.

In this practical morning session, you'll get an honest, plain-English introduction to early-stage investing, with the team from Vested Impact and Vested Angels, Tech Ready Women and Scalare walking you through the basics of what you need to know.

After the session, you'll walk away with:

• A clear understanding of the opportunities, risks, and realities of investing in startups; no sugarcoating

• Knowledge of the different types of investors and a sense of where you might fit

• A walkthrough of the TRW/Vested Angels/Scalare Investment Pathway identifying how opportunities are sourced, assessed, structured, and managed

• Confidence that you don't need to be an expert to start building investing capability over time

• Honest answers to your questions, in plain English (you know, the ones everyone's too polite to ask out loud)

What this is and isn't

This isn't a pitch night. No one's asking you to invest, and no prior experience is required.

It's a practical introduction to how women can learn about and participate in startup investing.

What to bring

• Yourself and your questions

• Curiosity and an open mind

• No investing experience. No commitment. Just come curious.
