Welcome to Tony Wilkins'

The Art of Angel Investing Masterclass

You don't need a fund. You need a framework. There's no CFA or MBA for angel investing, so after 72 investments since 1991, Tony built the roadmap he couldn't find elsewhere.

From your first pitch to your first
Check, and every check there after

Start wherever you are. Each step was built from the one before. Feel free to use one or all at once.

Build your personal investment philosophy

Evaluate founders with confidence

Make smarter investment decisions for decades to come

Built for three kinds of investors

Aspiring angels

You've been circling the idea for a year, assuming the door is locked. It isn't. You can start from $100.

Professionals building wealth

Jobs aren't for life and retirement may last decades. You want an asset class that keeps you current as AI changes every industry.

A check or two in

You invested on excitement and want a system you can repeat across hundreds of deals a year.

Become The Investor Founders Want Around The Table

Most people treat angel investing like a hobby.

The best investors treat it like a practice.

Inside the The Art of Angel Investing Masterclass you'll learn how to:

Build a philosophy that guides every investment decision

Source better opportunities through stronger networks

Evaluate founders beyond the pitch deck

Create a repeatable diligence process

Manage your portfolio with confidence

Exit investments according to a plan, not emotion

The goal isn't simply making investments. The goal is becoming the type of investor whose judgment compounds over decades.

Everything You Need in One Place.

Most Angel Investors Learn By Losing Money First

There is no CFA for angel investing.

No structured roadmap.

No proven curriculum.

Lack of a clear framework for evaluating founders and risk.

As a result, many investors:

  • Write checks based on excitement instead of conviction

  • Skip proper diligence

  • Follow the crowd instead of developing judgment

  • Learn expensive lessons after the money is already gone

The reality?

Many early-stage investments fail. 

The investors who succeed aren't the ones who avoid losses entirely. They're the ones who approach every investment with a repeatable system.

"Every check is either treasure or tuition."

Built From 30+ Years Of Real Angel Investing Experience

Tony Wilkins has been investing in startups since 1991.

Across 72 investments, he has experienced:

  • Companies that returned life-changing gains

This course is the framework he wishes he had when he wrote his first check.

The question is whether you'll have a framework behind it.

Wilkins Angel Network · $1,500 per year

Invest alongside Tony, live, twice a month

The Masterclass gives you the framework. The Network is where you use it, with Tony and other angels in the room.

Formal angel groups typically charge $1,000 to $4,000 a year in membership fees.

Bi-weekly Wilkins Workshops

Twice a month, Tony hosts a live session on one part of angel investing, from sourcing to diligence to exits.

Q&A with Tony

Bring a deal, a term sheet, or a question and get Tony's take live.

A network of other angels

Meet and compare notes with members who invest the same disciplined way.

Founder presentations

From time to time, founders present to the Network.

Membership rules

Membership is for people who contribute in good faith and may be withdrawn if a member is disruptive. Read the network rules.

Access has never been easier.

Good frameworks have never been rare.

Today, anyone can access startup investing opportunities through crowdfunding platforms, angel groups, and private networks.

The barrier to entry is lower than ever.

The challenge isn't access. It's knowing what to do once the opportunity appears.

The next generation of successful angel investors won't win because they saw more deals. They'll win because they developed better judgment. That's exactly what this course helps you build.

Trusted by Investors and Founders

Ezeibe A

Director, AI Business Solutions at Microsoft

“Tony turns years of hard-earned investing experience into clear, actionable insight. If you’re starting out in angel investing, he shortens the learning curve in a way very few people can.

Tony’s biggest impact on me was helping me focus on signal over noise, especially around founders, portfolio construction, and disciplined decision-making”

Craig Davis

President and CEO at NovaScan

"Tony Wilkins is one of the most thoughtful and insightful angel investors I know. He understands opportunities, their associated risks, and their potential upside exceptionally well. Just as importantly, he has outstanding people skills and a rare ability to evaluate leaders and their strengths, weaknesses, and capacity to execute. I have invested with Tony before, have been pleased with the experience, and would gladly invest with him again."

Which one is right for me?

Where should I start?

If you're curious, start with the book. If you're ready to build a practice, take the Masterclass. If you want to invest alongside Tony and other angels, join the Network.

What's the difference between the Masterclass and the Network?

The Masterclass is a self-paced course you work through on your own: 7 modules, 21 lessons, 13 worksheets. The Network is a yearly membership with live bi-weekly Wilkins Workshops, Q&A with Tony and other members.

Do I need to be an accredited investor?

No. The Masterclass covers both accredited and non-accredited paths, including crowdfunding platforms where you can start with $100.

How long does the Masterclass take?

Seven modules, three lessons each. Most people finish over four to six weeks, one module at a time.

Can I talk to Tony directly?

Yes. Book a paid 1-on-1 session: 30 minutes for $250 or 60 minutes for $500.

What if it's not for me?

[Refund terms, to confirm with Tony]

The question is whether you'll have a framework behind it.

The best time to plant a tree was 25 years ago. The second best time is today. What are you waiting for?

Invest with that horizon in mind. Start with the framework.
