What is the Equity Angels 2024 Catalyst Program?
This is a "Fundraise-Ready" program designed for early-stage technology startups focused on real estate and finance solutions. We will select up to ten startups for a six-month program to be held from April to September 2024. Our team of seasoned mentors and industry experts will help improve each founder’s chances of fundraising success by refining their business plans and sharpening their pitches. During the final month of the program, each startup will have an opportunity to pitch their business plans in person to a group of investors specializing in proptech and fintech startups.
Deadline: March 15, 2024 at 11:59 PM ET.
