# Event Details - **Event Name**: From Founder to Investor: What You Already Know About Investing in Startups - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 08 Oct, 2026 at 10:00 am – Thu, 08 Oct, 2026 at 12:00 pm (+02:00) - **Event Description**: Your founder experience is already an investing edge. Learn to read startups the way angels do; pattern recognition, team fit, market timingAbout this EventYour founder experience gives you a head start in angel investing, but investing is its own skillset. This free 1-hour online session is an honest first look at what transfers, what doesn’t, and whether it’s a path worth exploring for you.Founders spend years learning what execution really looks like: who can ship, when a market is actually moving, what separates a real business from a good story. That experience is genuinely valuable on the other side of the table, but it’s raw material, not the finished skill. Investing asks different questions than building. As a founder, you commit everything to one bet and make it work. As an angel, you make many small bets, most of which fail, and your job is judgment, not execution. Some of the instincts that made you a good operator can even work against you: falling in love with a product, backing founders who remind you of yourself, believing effort beats odds.In this session, we’ll open up that shift together: which founder instincts carry over, which need retraining, and what the investor mindset asks you to develop from scratch.What we’ll explore:Where founder experience genuinely helps when evaluating startups, and where it can mislead youHow reading a founding team as an investor differs from sizing up a co-founderWhat actually changes when you move from pitching to decidingThe honest question underneath it all: is angel investing even for you?Who is this for? Founders and former founders wondering whether investing could be a next chapter, operators curious about the other side of the table, and anyone who’s built something and wants a realistic look before going further.What to expect: One hour, online, free, and not a lecture. Real examples, open conversation, and space for your questions. You won’t leave an investor, but you’ll leave with a much clearer sense of what you’d be getting into, and whether you want to.About the organizer – (previously SIA - Startup Investor Accelerator)SIA is an angel investor hub designed to help more people become active participants in innovation through angel investing, entrepreneurship, and meaningful ecosystem connections.
