Do Angel Investors Always Have to Purchase Equity?

Former ACA board member Kevin Learned and his partners decided to pilot revenue-based capital as an alternative to typical equity. Now in their fourth year, Sage Growth Capital provides capital to early-stage companies in exchange for a small share of their revenue until Sage has received an agreed upon return. Kevin will discuss the Sage experience, including how deploying this type of capital may leverage the angels’ equity investments. Dr. Learned served on the ACA board from 2016-2022 and was the founding chair of the ACA Education Committee. After twenty plus years of angel investing, he decided he had “aged out” of traditional angel equity but wanted to stay involved in the early-stage capital ecosystem. He is chair of the ACA community of interest on revenue-based investing, and will be presenting a session on the topic at the Summit.

ACA Access Hours for Members

Are you dealing with a current investing dilemma? Want to engage in dialogue with others who are on the Angel Investing Journey? Tune in and be inspired by the real-world angel investing experience of some of the poisoners of the asset class! We will be talking about some of your most requested topics like Do Angels really see a return on their investment? How long does it take?

As an ACA Member, you are invited to attend the entire 1 hour virtual session where we will spend the first half talking and listening to our guest panelists and the last half in dialogue during Q/A with our members. *Members may invite a guest to attend the first half. Only ACA members are allowed to stay for the Q/A.

March 9 – Announcing Liquidity Events: Join us to hear our Fellow ACA members announce their recent (past 5 years) liquidity events. You’ll learn about different types of liquidity events, how long these investments took to yield a return, whether it was a QSBS exemption and more. Feel free to invite a friend to attend the first 30 minutes. Only ACA Members can participate in the Q/A after the announcements.

June 1 – How I Did It!: Join us for a deeper dive into the liquidity event. You’ll hear an entrepreneur and one of their investor talk about the process of finding a pathway to exit.
