Educate
As angel investing is new to Yukon, there are several audiences that will benefit from access to angel investment education, including new and experienced angel investors, entrepreneurs and the general public. NACO offers a number of resources to support education related to angel investing. It is recommended that adjustments are made to these resources to address the cultural environment of Yukon and facilitate widespread adoption.
Angel Education
With support from industry partners and experts, NACO provides education to new and established angel investors through the NACO Academy platform. Live educational modules cover the basics of angel investing as well as more specialized topics for experienced angels and non-investors who work with angel investors. Additional online modules are under development to provide on-demand access to angel investor training.
Entrepreneur Education
Working in partnership with Ryerson University, NACO recently launched the Investor Readiness Program to provide entrepreneurs with the knowledge they need to become investor-ready. Developed with feedback from accelerator and incubator partners, in addition to perspectives from angel investors and entrepreneurs, this curriculum provides a fulsome overview of the dynamics and details of angel investing. This is delivered in an in- person or virtual classroom setting, with the impact of this curriculum amplified by intensive one-on-one mentorship sessions between entrepreneurs and active angel investors.
