I have been impressed by the structure, the contents, the highly committed AAA team, and last but not least the high quality of the videos and the speakers. Not only I have been learning so much about angel investing, but I am now gathering smart women to create a new angel network for Women in Business in Mauritius

The depth of knowledge and experience packed into the Africa Angel Academy programme is so enriching and responds to the huge gaps in the angel investment culture in the continent. Getting access to top industry professionals who have lived and put real money where their mouths are, beats any form of defined learning experience. I enjoyed every session and hope to be able to give back.
