Angel Squad x Nicole DeTommaso, Bootcamp: How to Break into VC Through Angel Investing
Nicole DeTommaso broke into VC as a first-gen college grad with a 10-page "Why Me" deck.
No MBA. No inside connections. No traditional path.
Today, she's a Principal at Harlem Capital, Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, and the voice behind VC Demystified - where she's helped aspiring investors land roles at NEA, Eniac, Coinbase Ventures, and beyond.
Nicole has proved something most people overlook: You can do the role of a VC before anyone gives you the title. And today, angel investing is the fastest way to demonstrate that.
When you write checks (even $1K), source deals for syndicates, or support startups without expecting a board seat, you're doing the actual work of venture (and building the credibility that makes traditional credentials irrelevant).
So, to lay out the exact roadmap for aspiring VCs, Angel Squad and Nicole are partnering up...
In this 45-minute bootcamp, you will:
Learn what angel and syndicate investing looks like in practice
Hear Nicole's firsthand story of how she turned ecosystem involvement into a breakout career
And get your questions answered in a Q&A by Nicole and Brian Nichols (founder of Angel Squad)
Nicole's built an audience of 140k by demystifying an industry that's been inaccessible for too long. This bootcamp is to bring clarity to the one question that's asked most: how do I actually get in?
If you've been waiting for permission to start, this is it.
A recording will be shared after the event with RSVPs.
