From our founder & CEO, Courtney Brockmeyer:
I am so excited to be in Boston today to pitch to a talented group of angel investors from Pipeline Fellowship! This company is so awesome and I am thrilled to highlight it for this week's Sydney Paige Follow Friday.
The Pipeline Fellowship is changing the face of angel investing by conducting a 6 month bootcamp for women to invest in companies and support women social entrepreneurs. Since launching its first angel investing bootcamp in April 2011, they have trained over 70 women, who have committed more than $350k in investment, and have expanded from NYC to include Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, LA, Miami, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C.. At the end of their 6 month training, the class collectively chooses a handful of companies looking for investors (like SYDNEY PAIGE!) to pitch for funding and after the 3 hour pitch session, selects the company that they will fund. Each angel receives an agreed upon percentage of the chosen company and one angel is chosen to sit on the board of the new company, adding their expertise and passion to help grow the business.
I am LOVING this women investing in women movement and am ECSTATIC about Pipeline Fellowship’s focus on companies dedicated to create positive social change. It is a win-win situation for all and I am honored to have been chosen to pitch! Wish me luck and visit www.pipelinefellowship.com to learn more!
