Cintia, CEO of Core Angels, shares insights into how angel investing communities can democratize early-stage investing while providing powerful frameworks for investment decisions.

• Core Angels operates 14 angel funds where investors pool capital and make collective decisions about startup investments
• Their book "Angel Investing Explained" aims to break down misconceptions and bring more women into angel investing
• Women investors typically gather comprehensive information before investing while men often learn through direct experience
• When evaluating startups, the market potential and founding team quality are the two most critical factors
• Team dynamics must be complementary with clear distribution of responsibilities across technology, sales, and product
• AI is enabling founders to accomplish more with smaller teams but human judgment remains essential
• Secondary cities offer promising startup ecosystems with potentially more reasonable valuations
• Entrepreneurship serves as a powerful tool for social mobility and regional development
• Education is evolving toward experiential learning and human-centric capabilities
• First-time founders should carefully consider whether external investment aligns with their goals
