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.

Source better opportunities through stronger networks
Evaluate founders beyond the pitch deck
Create a repeatable diligence process
Manage your portfolio with confidence

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."

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.

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."

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.
