This year’s IFEL Virtual Pipeline Angels Open House was an incredible success, bringing together participants from across the nation for a session filled with inspiration and insights. Attendees were treated to an in-depth look at IFEL’s mission, which has been dedicated to expanding capital access for historically excluded entrepreneurs since its founding in 2002.
One of the standout moments of the event was a powerful video presentation highlighting IFEL’s growth and showcasing the transformative acquisition of Pipeline Angels. We also introduced exciting new programs such as Success Circles and volunteer opportunities aimed at empowering entrepreneurs on their journey to success.
Key discussions revolved around IFEL’s commitment to inclusion in angel investing, particularly through initiatives like the Making Black Angels program and the Capital Catalyst program, which offers crucial support for crowdfunding efforts. These programs are vital in shaping a more equitable landscape for entrepreneurs seeking investment.
The session wrapped up with a call to action, urging attendees to become part of the Pipeline Angels network, register for upcoming events, and consider volunteer or board opportunities with IFEL. It was a perfect reminder of how we can all contribute to driving meaningful change in entrepreneurship.
As we wrap up 2024, we’re excited for the year ahead. Join us in continuing the momentum and making 2025 even more impactful as we work together to champion entrepreneurship for all. Here's to another year of growth and progress!
