How will you educate new investors?
Our mission is not only to fund high-potential founders, but we will also have an educational component for investors. Our educational goal is twofold: first, we create pathways for established founders to give back by mentoring and supporting emerging entrepreneurs. Second, we aim to expose the next generation of investors to angel opportunities. We will leverage existing resources and organizations to create educational content and partnerships for our members.
What will the community of ATL TrailblazHER Angels be like?
Community is at the heart of everything we do. At ATL TrailblazHER Angels, we believe innovation is scaled through connection, shared knowledge, and collective support. Our community of investors, founders, and partners is what makes growth possible.
We’re more than a source of capital; we’re a network that highlights collaboration, mentorship, and shared success. When we invest, we invest in people and their ecosystems, because thriving communities create the foundation for scalable, sustainable innovation.
