About

Part of the 710 Angels umbrella

710 Angels is a private investor network whose members gain access to investment opportunities sourced, screened, and curated through the experience and relationships of the 710 Angels leadership team.

710 Academy is the learning arm of that network; a hands-on environment where a small cohort works alongside the same investors and operators on the same kinds of live deals the network evaluates. You're not studying venture from the outside; you're stepping inside it.
