Final Demo Day – SIA – Trans-Atlantic Angel Conference #4

The Trans Atlantic Angel Conference is a “learning by doing” program where new Angel Investors learn about Angel Investing by doing an Angel Investment.

Across 3 months, 26 Angel Investors together reviewed 60+ companies who shared company financials, business strategies, customer references, and operating plans. We held individual and group investor discussions, where we evaluated, selected, debated about, and did meaningful due diligence.

This Demo / Pitch Night is the end of the program. It is an exclusive virtual reception during which participating companies have the opportunity to pitch to an audience of entrepreneurs, mentors, investors, and community members.

The finalist companies will present. The Due Diligence teams will outline what they explored in the process of due diligence. And then the Angel investors will select a company to make an investment in. The audience is invited to also vote for an Audience Award.

Many Angel Groups will be invited to attend. Many will be there. There will be time to network and engage with other attendees. This is an online event.

The finalist startups are:

Depencare which is a global caregiving solution for elderly and dependent people.
