The greatest angel investors of this generation will be creators.

Join Li Jin, founding partner of Atelier Ventures, for an exclusive program where top creators learn to be successful angel investors.

Why should creators be interested in angel investing? It's an opportunity to diversify revenue streams, learn about building businesses, grow your own brand, and have upside in the long-term success of companies (vs. just doing one-off brand deals).

The program will run for 2 hours/week in May & June 2021. As this is our very first cohort, we are purposefully keeping it small and intimate (<30 creators).
