BUILDING INVESTOR-READY ENTREPRENEURS
The National Angel Capital Organization Investor Readiness Program for Early-Stage companies is designed to assist entrepreneurs to transform good ideas into great businesses.
Connecting Ryerson-supported Entrepreneurs with Capital
We understand the pressure on entrepreneurs and startup founders to make every opportunity count in their pursuit of capital. However, we also understand the decision-making process of a potential investor or client. It is because of this unique perspective that Angels make excellent resources for Entrepreneurs.
This is why we have partnered with Zone Learning at Ryerson University to deliver valuable investor-readiness workshops and one-on-one coaching to help make these businesses “investor-ready”. This program will help founders gain the insight and coaching needed in raising capital and resources to transform their good ideas into investor-ready companies.
