Angel investing/group investing in early stage startups

Are there any angel investors or group of investors who invest in early stage startups? How do I learn more about it and gain experience? From where to start? Any guidance will be appreciated.

Hey so,

A good place to start would be IPV (Inflection Point). I have used their platform, they get decent access to startups and manage the entire process really well

Couple of caveats but: as an Angel you succeed only when you have special access to good founders, so if you’re really serious, expand your network and get in touch with other people in the game. Do not invest if you will in only 2-3 startups, it mostly does not work. Budget for 8-10 bets and then you may see something going off.

But it’s one of the best ways to learn for sure.

No idea about this unfortunately
For angels it charges 18k for membership annually

I know who leaked it. It was YOU asking for feedback, lol.

Guess it's true when people say that you're launching too late if your site doesn't have the default favicon. I can still see the Vercel logo 😂

You become an angel investor by investing startups will approach you many times all need funding. Also there’re angel syndicates that you can invest with. Just approach any syndicate you will have to pass their check like some need you to have a net worth of 10cr+ etc and become a part of it
