What you'll learn

How operators transition into angel & LP investing

Amber will share her path from operator to angel investor to launching The Council Fund, including early lessons.

The lifecycle of angel & LP investing without the jargon

You’ll get a clear, end-to-end view of how angel and LP investing actually works in practice, from budget to wiring $$.

How to think about risk, rewards, and budget

We’ll walk through the real risks and upside of investing in the venture asset class.

Why this topic matters

More tech leaders are curious about angel and LP investing but most don’t have a clear framework for how to start responsibly. Without structure, it’s easy to: overcommit capital, chase hype instead of conviction, and make one-off decisions without a long-term strategy. This session gives you a grounded, realistic introduction to alternative investing so you can decide if it's for you.
