AngelSchool Venture Fundamentals is a structured angel investing and venture capital program designed to teach the practical skills needed to evaluate startups, structure deals, and build an investment portfolio. Founded by experienced angel investors who have backed companies from seed to unicorn status, AngelSchool has built a global network of 1,500+ LPs and offers a hands-on approach to VC education that goes far beyond academic theory.

What You Will Learn

Startup evaluation frameworks — how to assess founding teams, market opportunities, business models, and competitive landscapes
Financial modeling for early-stage companies — revenue projections, unit economics, burn rate analysis, and valuation methodologies (pre-money, post-money, comparable analysis)
Deal structuring — term sheets, SAFEs, convertible notes, priced rounds, liquidation preferences, anti-dilution provisions, and pro-rata rights
Due diligence processes — technical, financial, legal, and market due diligence checklists and workflows
Portfolio construction — diversification strategies, check size optimization, follow-on investment strategies, and power law dynamics in venture returns
Syndicate building — how to form and manage angel syndicates, attract LPs, and create deal flow pipelines
Legal and regulatory considerations — SEC regulations, accredited investor requirements, fund structures (SPVs, rolling funds, micro-funds)
Real deal experience — students participate in evaluating actual startup pitches and investment opportunities during the cohort

Why This Course Stands Out

AngelSchool differentiates itself through practical, deal-based learning rather than pure theory. The instructors have real track records as angel investors, including 2x seed-to-unicorn outcomes. The cohort model means you learn alongside other aspiring investors and build a network that extends beyond the course. Access to the Investment Committee (IC) membership ($30/month after the course) provides ongoing deal flow and the ability to co-invest in vetted deals. The program also includes a free Angel Syndicate Building Guide that teaches how to build and scale your own syndicate — a critical skill for those who want to invest at scale without massive personal capital. Unlike academic VC courses (Stanford, Wharton), this program is designed for practitioners who want to start investing immediately.

Who It Is For

Aspiring angel investors who are accredited (or soon to be) and want a structured framework for startup investing, entrepreneurs who want to understand the investor perspective to improve their own fundraising, professionals in tech, finance, or consulting looking to transition into venture capital, family office managers seeking to build a venture allocation, and existing angels who want to formalize their process and expand their network. The course assumes basic business and financial literacy but does not require prior investment experience.

Career Outcomes

Angel Investor (variable returns, typically deploying $25K-$500K+ annually), Venture Capital Analyst ($70K-$120K + carry), Venture Capital Associate ($100K-$180K + carry), Syndicate Lead (2-20% carry on deals), Scout for VC funds ($50K-$100K base + finders fees), Startup Advisor/Board Member (equity compensation), Family Office Venture Allocator ($90K-$200K). The real value is in developing the skills and network to make better investment decisions — even a single successful angel investment can return 10-100x.

Format & Pricing

Cohort-based program with approximately 10 hours of structured content delivered over several weeks. Program fee is $750 USD (one-time). After completing the program, graduates can join the Investment Committee (IC) membership at $30/month for ongoing deal flow, co-investment opportunities, and community access. 100% online with live sessions and recorded content. Cohorts run multiple times per year. The program also offers a free Angel Syndicate Building Guide as a resource for those exploring the space before committing.
