“Supernovas BA Academy has allowed me to review concepts that I had learned before but also to reflect on my own investment thesis and made me aware of how I had readjusted it over time. I am thankful for the opportunity I had to join this programme and learn from all speakers, organisers, and all other inspiring women who were part of it. Initiatives like Supernovas encourage me to do event more to support other women entrepreneurs.”

"Though the Emerging Angels Programme is for investment professionals with a small startup portfolio, and in the early days, the course is intense, engaging, and empowering. The speakers invited, share hands-on experience and provide context for various strategies and approaches to angel investing. Each class has applied knowledge shared, which is further elaborated by the community of women angels, according to their expertise. Lastly, the course has a well-balanced pace of study, complemented with exercises that serve for self-reflection and, simultaneously, to support the planning for a more deliberate career shift to Angel Investing. I highly recommend joining the program; whatever your expectations with an investment career, the community will guide you."
