Angie Parker

Former Executive Director of a major angel investing group • Startup Founder • Brand Strategist 👉👉 I'm not here to be pitched, and this is for your benefit; I don't support a "pay-to-play" model. I'm here solely as an advisor and mentor, separate from my investing activities. 👀 I've seen thousands of pitch decks and likely heard a thousand pitches. I know how angel investors and early-stage VCs evaluate opportunities and how you can set yourself up for success. ❤️‍🔥 I am very passionate about helping founders go "from 0 to 1," and strongly believe in customer discovery to validate ideas and build the best and fastest MVP. It is also the crux of a great pitch and, ultimately, of securing investment. I'm here to be kind and helpful, offering ACTIONABLE FEEDBACK inspired by my experiences and observations from a career with innovators and investors. ---- When deciding to meet with me: ✅ GO: You genuinely want my 2¢. You're navigating the early-stage startup landscape (idea-stage, have an MVP, seeking customers, preparing for your first raise, etc.) ❌ NO-GO: You're pitching for investment (aka you want to pay to have me listen to you) Highlights, Background: • Executive Director at the Alliance of Angels 200+ Angel Group | $600M+ in Exits | $4–6M/year • Founder • Brand Strategist • Former Air Force Aviator • UW Alum: Business, Data Science, Info Systems Get the most bang for your buck: → Provide a link to an agenda in advance → What do you most want to discuss? → What outcome would make our conversation a success?
