This is a networking lunch for you. We welcome everyone to join in the conversation. This is Angel investing Melbourne-style - it is fun, informative, friendly and a great precursor to the more serious times when we are reviewing deals and chasing exits for our founders.

Melbourne Angels invests in 10+ deals a year which puts it up there with the more active Angel groups in the world. Our members are professional and courteous in their conduct, impassioned and experienced in their pursuit of success for our portfolio companies, diverse and engaging in their areas of interest and intellectual horsepower.

This is your chance to get to know us, discover new trends, share your own experiences and explore how engaging with us as a member, or as a portfolio company can help change your life.

Our featured speakers address topical issues relevant to the early-stage ecosystem in short presentations followed by lively Q&A with plenty of time afterwards for networking and conversation.
