Date of the Angel Venture Fair: The Angel Venture Fair takes place Friday, December 8th at the Union League from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Click here to see a past Angel Venture Fair.
The Private Investors Forum is different than any other organization you will apply to. When you apply you become a Member, who gets to apply to the Angel Venture Fair and attend every event we run, except the actual Angel Venture Fair unless chosen to present because only accredited investors and sponsors can attend the Angel Venture Fair. As a member you can attend AVF Education Day, Snake Pit, Women’s Funding, Social Impact and Value of Intellectual Property along with any other events we run. Plus, even if you aren’t chosen to present at the Angel Venture Fair, we mention you in our international e-newsletter that goes to Angels and Angel Groups around the world.
Entrepreneurs may apply year round.
