ANGEL LEAGUE | DYVVYD

launch your angel investment portfolio, identify unicorns and begin stacking generational wealth

According to a recent NY Times article,

africa rising risen! The Future Is Already Here

"by 2050, one in four people on the planet will be African, a seismic change that’s already starting to register.

The energy in Africa contrasts with the rising uneasiness in Europe and Asia with African countries have a vital resource that aging societies are losing: a youthful population brimming with energy, ideas and creativity that will shape their future, and the world’s."

The population across Africa is expected to double in size with over a third of the globe's youth living across the continent within the next 6 years. With the African Union joining the Group of 20 and having a seat at the same table as the European Union, per NY Times, the winds are shifting, with large multinational companies pursuing Africa's tens of millions of new consumers coming into their buying power each year and spending across untapped markets inclusive of real estate, cosmetics, champagne, travel, retail and dining.

Founder Institute

I'm the Founder & CEO of DYVVYD, a Silicon Valley-based investment platform with a community of angel, syndicate and venture capital investors and the CEOs they invest in.

I've been investing in tech based companies for the past 12+ years and it is my belief that if you have the means and the desire to foster generational wealth creation, while supporting a new wave of innovation across the continent then you should have access to the wealth building advantages of equity ownership, investment capacities and the tools for activation.

You shouldn't have to feel stuck, scrolling the internet sorting through a variety of support articles or strategies which force you to figure out your way on your own.

There are no rules around joining secret clubs or insider access to get you down your path to being an angel investor and start building wealth. That's why I created the African Angel League built off of DYVVYD's track record of:

Over $20,000,000+ in funding raised
Over $250,00,000+ in total valuations
200+ satisfied founders + CEOs

africa

is built different!

The statistics that dictate investing trends in other global markets do not necessarily translate on the ground. The continent has recently witnessed the rapid scale of African unicorns that have achieved unicorn status in under 5 years with minimal upfront capital investment, reflecting a market that is nimble and dynamic when assessed against other global markets. We invite you to travel with us on an impactful journey with DYVVYD's Angel League —a private circle for executives like you, determined to transform Africa's innovation landscape with private investment.

From our base in Silicon Valley, we are well versed in US-centric deals. Layer on the intricate distinctions of cultural nuance and why Africa operates with perceptible differences specific to valuations, untapped verticals and macroeconomic forces and you will find this program unique. Examine the differences between US startups that require higher infusions of capital in comparison to African startups that require much less yet meet their preset growth milestones due to unique market conditions.

Develop the knack of identifying potential African unicorns, win early individual allocations on deals, assess the skillset of the leadership behind great startups and understand how to perform due diligence before you make an investment decision. Form circles with other investors then build syndicates or invest via your own portfolio while crafting your specific investment thesis.

Along with a highly motivated private roundtable circle, understand why Africa's statistics for the next 10 years show promise and position yourself to elevate your wealth quotient while building habits that inform the success track records of popular tech investors.

Who is this program for?

This program is for you, if: ✅ You are a US-based or globally based successful career professional or high net worth individual who would like to contribute to the innovation wave projected to sweep Africa within the next 10 years. ✅ You have 3-5 hours a week to commit to your programming inclusive of masterclass sessions, mentor meetups, 'buddy' check-ins and coursework. ✅ You have the necessary funds set aside to commit to the program by settling in full at the launch of your cohort, or via monthly payment plan. ✅ You anticipate being ready (at the close of your cohort) to establish your own syndicate, participate in a DYVVYD established syndicate OR invest individually into our privately curated dealflow of over 200+ teams actively building for the African market.
What is the process of joining the Angel League?

We invite all interested parties to apply to join DYVVYD's Angel League. Space is limited and we have room for 10 attendees, therefore we will be screening applicants and evaluating applications. Applicants that fit the criteria will receive an email with a request for a live introduction session, after which attendees will be selected to join this 2nd cohort.
Do I have to be an officially accredited investor as per SEC guidelines?

According to the Securities and Exchange Commission's guidelines, in order to invest in private US-registered companies, your income must meet or exceed the threshold of $200,000 income earned annually, or you must have a net worth of $1M. A percentage of the African-based deals within the DYVVYD community are registered in the US, while others are registered in their local jurisdictions (Europe, Asia or Africa). The SEC exists to protect the investment interests of US-based investors while international teams are typically encouraged to proceed with their local jurisdiction's definition of an accredited investor. For the purposes of this programming where you will come into the understanding of investments frameworks, you do not have to be US-accredited, however, at the close of programming, should you proceed to invest in start-up securities, local or international, we encourage appropriate accreditation as well as the advice of your legal counsel.
I am a ________ (fill in the blank), do I qualify?

The Angel League series is for high net worth individuals, senior executives, subject matter professionals or well positioned entrepreneurs with disposable income, who would like to broaden their investment portfolio by investing in innovative companies building across the African continent with the potential for massive scale.
I'm not sure I am equipped to take this on - I don't believe I am competent enough to be considered an investor.

To be quite frank, the DYVVYD Angel League Series contains power-packed information that we wish we had had access to when beginning our investment journey. Investing in Western (US and European) startup companies is not linear, there are quite a number of routes and paths to take. Layer in the cultural nuance of investing on the African continent now and especially with where the continent is headed in the future, anyone wanting to make a difference and support this new wave of innovation while mentoring our brilliant entrepreneurs is poised to be an investor. Whether you have never dabbled in startup investing or have a track record and are looking to pad your knowledge bank with more strategies and skills, come with whatever experience you have and bring an open mind.
Will in-person attendance be required?

Your cohort is fully remote and accessible via virtual tools inclusive of video portals and social audio. All mastermind sessions (whether audio, video or conference) will be held during evening hours for our Western US attendees and early morning for our European and African time zones.
Who will I be learning from?

In addition to core DYVVYD team members, experts and mentors, we are so excited to be bringing along industry executives, experienced angel investors, superstar founders, product professionals and special guests to enrich your learning experience.
How will the lab programming kick-off and how long will it last?

The lab programming will officially kick-off with a launch event, Q&A session and introduction to the program. The program will run for a period of 8-10 weeks and we are very excited to welcome you all to this year's cohort!
What should be expected each week of the lab programming?

The lab programming will consist of weekly mastermind sessions, webinars, guest speaker events, Q&A sessions, lunchtime founder pitch sessions and weekly coursework to help you master the material more thoroughly and put it to work effectively. You will have access to periodic live pitch sessions where entrepreneurs around the globe pitch our investor community for funding allowing you to learn the structure of a great pitch and how entrepreneurs position themselves effectively. You should also expect to work closely with your fellow attendees in labs, partnered sessions and groups in order to tear apart deal structures/terms, build relationship, form community and develop your investor persona together.
I have commitments (family, demanding job/business, frequent travel). How much time should I be expected to commit to this?

We have been very intentional on ensuring that the weekly events, material and coursework are not a strain on your current schedule. The materials we provide you with the lab's programming will be available at your convenience to complete as soon as you can prior to proceeding with the following week's module. As well, mastermind sessions and guest events are recorded as well and available in your private DYVVYD profile.
I have more questions not answered here or in any of your platform pages, how do I get in touch?
