Raising Angel Capital the Right Way

Raising capital is one of the hardest parts of building a startup—and one of the least understood. Founders often focus on numbers, but early investors are betting on something deeper: the person behind the idea. At the upcoming PHXFWD Workshop , “ Raising Angel Capital the Right Way , ” founders will learn what it really takes to secure early-stage investment.

The event takes place October 28 from 9–11 AM in Tempe and features Aaron Favreau , Executive Director at Spark Angels and Venture Madness , two organizations shaping Arizona’s innovation landscape. Favreau will pull back the curtain on how angels think, what they look for, and how to tell a story that connects strategy with traction. The session will cover building a clear fundraising toolkit, communicating milestones, and aligning your raise with your next stage of growth. Expect candid insights from both sides of the table—what makes a deal compelling, where founders go wrong, and how to build investor relationships that last. In Arizona’s fast-growing startup scene, understanding how to raise the right way isn’t just smart—it’s essential. � � October 28 | � � 9–11 AM | � � Tempe , AZ Register here: https://luma.com/e3iid p5p Follow Silicon Oasis for upcoming events, founder spotlights, and Arizona innovation news. 👉 Subscribe to the Silicon Oasis Magazin e to stay plugged in.
