About us
Startup Investor Accelerator builds stronger startup companies that are more investible and grows new Angel Investors in local ecosystems.
We will run a variety of events about how to be effective as a startup founder, how to get into Angel Investing as a new investor and work to connect people to resources in the community.
This program is connected to the Seattle Angel group run by Mossy Ventures. Workshops and meetups will resemble the types of things we have done in the past in http://meetup.com/Seattle-Angel , http://meetup.com/Startup-Investor-Accelerator, http://meetup.com/Startup-Investor-Accelerator-Estonia
New Startup founders, people exploring the innovation economy and those interested in learning how to invest in the innovation economy would find this a useful group.
This group is part of the economic empowerment efforts of the Mossy Ventures group.

Curious about Angel Investing? Join Us for an Introduction Session to this topic
Have you ever wondered how startup investors find, evaluate, and invest in promising companies?
Whether you're actively considering angel investing or simply curious about how the startup investment ecosystem works, this session is designed to give you an accessible introduction to the world of angel investing. Who is it for? How to get started? What to have in mind? …and more.
During this session, we'll also introduce the Trans-Atlantic Angel Conference (TAAC)—our flagship hands-on investor training program that helps aspiring and experienced investors learn by doing. Participants work alongside a diverse cohort of investors from Europe and the US, reviewing real startups, conducting due diligence, hearing founder pitches, and ultimately making investment decisions together.
We'll also be joined by a TAAC alumni who will share their personal journey, how the program shaped their development as an angel investor, and who can benefit most from the experience.
In this session, we'll cover:
- What angel investing is and how the ecosystem works
- An introduction to the Transatlantic Angel Conference (TAAC)
- How the learning-by-doing model helps investors gain real-world experience
- TAAC alumni experience
- Who the program is designed for and whether it might be a fit for you
- Open Q&A
No prior investing experience is required, just curiosity and an interest in learning more about startups, innovation, and angel investing.
