Demystifying Angel Investing — How Women Build Wealth and Impact

February 25, 2025
Refraction Tysons
5:30 - 7:30 p.m.

Join us for an engaging and approachable introduction to angel investing that goes beyond the basics. This session is designed for women who are currently investing - or curious about investing - in early-stage companies and want to better understand how capital can be a powerful tool for both financial growth and meaningful impact.

We’ll explore:

  • What angel investing really is — and how it differs from venture capital, private equity, and crowdfunding

  • Why women’s capital matters, and how investing can help close gender wealth and funding gaps

  • The power of investing with purpose, aligning your investments with your values and priorities

  • How to get started, including accredited investor basics, syndicates, and angel networks

Come learn, connect, and discover how women are redefining what it means to invest — with intention, impact, and community.

This event is part of Citrine’s new Female Funder series, powered by Citrine Impact, designed to equip women with the knowledge, confidence, and community to become active early-stage investors. Future sessions in 2026 will dive deeper into portfolio construction strategies and deal evaluation (due diligence) fundamentals.

Please Confirm Your Accredited Investor Status

Members and pitch meeting guests are required to be accredited investors. Many people qualify without realizing it.

The SEC qualifies accredited investors based on wealth and income thresholds, as well as other measures of financial sophistication. 

Most commonly, Citrine members qualify based on 
one or more of the financial criteria, listed below. You can view the the full list of qualifications on the SEC website here

  • Net worth over $1 million, excluding primary residence (individually or with spouse or partner)

  • Income over $200,000 (individually) or $300,000 (with spouse or partner) in each of the prior two years, and reasonably expects the same for the current year

You’ll be asked to check a box confirming you qualify when you sign the membership agreement form. 

NOTE: There is no additional form to “become” an accredited investor. You also don’t need to meet all of criteria on the SEC website – any of the items count.
