[MaGIC Webinar] The Angel Series: Diversity in Angel Investing
In partnership with the Malaysian Business Angel Network (MBAN), the Angel Series is specially curated to bridge the gaps between an investor’s requirements and a Startup’s expectation to enable more early-stage investments.
In today’s culture, diversity and inclusion are the top two most important topics, especially as we grow towards the era of digitisation. In this third session of the Angel Series, we’ll be touching on one of the most recent trends in the angel investment space; diversity - answering questions such as “How do we become more inclusive in the Angel’ ecosystem? Cross-border Investments - regional & Global? How do more women get into the Angel investments sphere?”
Discover with us the opportunities that lie ahead for founders and investors alike.
