SIA attracts a diverse community of angel investors, VCs, family offices, and other investment professionals who want to enhance their practice and collaborate across borders. We are the European counterpart to Mossy Ventures’ flagship program, the Seattle Angel Conference (SAC), which has been growing investor and founder ecosystems in the U.S. since 2012. To date, the program has trained 1,000+ angel investors and supported over 1,800 startups, with alumni collectively investing over $300 million into early-stage companies around the world.
