👼🏻 Requirements to become an angel investor (Spoiler: It’s not what you think)

So, what does it actually take to start investing in startups - a few millions in the bank, an MBA and a personal bank man? Let me set things straight.

1. A working email address
   Because the best deal flow in the world won’t help you if it’s going to your spam folder.

2. The ability to say “no”
   To founders. To hype. To your own FOMO. Angel investing is sexy - but boundaries are sexier.

3. A screenshot habit you’re slightly embarrassed about
   If you’ve ever saved a random business idea at 2am - welcome home.

4. A refusal to be underestimated
   You’re not “getting into investing someday.” You’re doing it now.

5. A vision for what should exist in the world
   Because startup investing is funding the future - and your opinion matters.

6. The courage to start before you feel ‘ready’
   If you wait for perfect timing, you’ll miss everything. (The first One of the Girls Has Money Now lesson drops soon - don’t be tardy to the party!)

7. A crash course you’ll actually finish, and a newsletter you’ll actually read
   Because learning to invest should feel more like a book club with your besties than a second job.
