11. Funding: Diving into the world of angel investments!

WorldStartup, De investeerderclub 

We probably don't have to tell you that acquiring the financial means to expand globally is crucial for your business. Especially when it comes to backing innovation and its early-stage impact. Enter: Angel investments. They're known to be the most informal of all available funding opportunities, but they can be very valuable. However, the few documented frameworks in this field make research challenging. This is where De Investeerdersclub and WorldStartup come in. They facilitate knowledge transfer, best practices, preparations, introductions, matchmaking, and access to a community. Interact with investors and founders to learn from their firsthand experience of successes and lessons learned. We will also touch upon timing fundraising for international expansion. We kindly request you to come prepared with questions and challenges for the discussion.
