I have been providing angel investments to pre-seed startups for the last few years. I only have made 10 investments, and think that what VC Lab offers would help me expand my impact while guiding me in the transition from angel to VC. Would I be accepted into the program? Will the accelerator partners advise me on bifurcating my current investments from my potential VC investments? Is there anyone else in the program who has managed this transition well?
There are a number of succesful Alumni who successfully leveraged the accelerator to transition from angel investing to launching an enduring VC Firm. In fact, succesful angel investors are one of the most common Alumni archetypes. VC Lab’s highly selective admissions process screens for entrepreneurs with a differentiated vision for a market, exceptional professional network, or a history of industry leadership. During the program, we hep managers navigate various common challenges experienced by angel investors launching firms such as managing conflicts of interest, developing a professional thesis based strategy and targeting the correct LP archetypes.
