If you’ve been following along, you’ll already know that one of the things that drive us here at Propel(x) is the opportunity to bring angel investors together in a big community. It can be difficult to get started as a new angel, so our investors have come to really appreciate the networking opportunities we provide with our platform.
Collectively, our investors represent a lot of talent — and a lot of experience. They’ve bet on thousands of companies and have enjoyed hundreds of exits. These guys and gals have learned a lot along the way and are more than happy to share their expertise with anyone who asks.
