[MaGIC Webinar] The Angel Series: Realigning Strategies - Digitisation

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.

The series will cover multiple topics in different areas of angel investments such as business model pivots, corporate angel investors, impact investments, negotiating term sheets and more. To accelerate the development of investor and startup understanding of these topics, this series will also focus on highlighting and discussing real and relevant examples of angel investments.

In this second installment of the Angel Series, we’ll be taking a closer look at how startups and corporations can work together in this era of digitisation.
