Pre-seed investing has a lead angel problem. John Sechrest, Managing Director at Mossy Ventures, joins the Angel Academy Workshop with Andrey Kostyk to break down why VCs can't fill that role and why half the people calling themselves angels would be better off as LPs.

We understand that the current situation in the region may raise questions for some attendees. The safety and wellbeing of our speakers, partners, and attendees remains our highest priority.

We are closely monitoring developments and remain in ongoing dialogue with relevant local partners. At this time, the VNTR Dubai Investor Forum is planned to proceed as scheduled, and preparations continue as normal.

We encourage participants to review official travel guidance from their respective governments and make decisions based on their own circumstances. Should anything change, we will communicate updates promptly.
