It's not going to be a surprise when I say Black, Latinx, and women are underrepresented angel investors. I've continued to explore the question, how do we move the needle to expand who has a seat at the investor's table? As many of you know, it has long been important to me that we meaningfully welcome new angel investors into the MN ecosystem. Which is why I'm excited to announce our new partnership with TechTown Detroit and our joint collaboration on a angel program that gets to the heart of it.
TechTown Detroit’s Catalyst Angel Program helps emerging angel investors in the Great Lakes Region who identify as Black, Latinx, and/or women gain knowledge about angel investing.
The Minnesota cohort, led by Groove Investment Group, will connect Catalyst Angel Program participants in Minnesota. Together, we will gain a deeper understanding of angel investing, engage in curated virtual courses, and connect in person with peers.
The cohort will provide a community for Minnesota-based angels going through the program—angel investing is a team sport after all.
Q: Is there a cost associated with this program?
A: No! This program is funded by a federal grant.
Q: Do I need to be a member of Groove to join?
A: Nope. You're welcomed either way.
Q: What if I am unable to make a class?
A: All classes will be recorded, in case you miss a session or want to refer to it later.
