Why the Angel Academy Exists

Six reasons this course
is built differently.

Live Deal Flow as Curriculum
Every case study is drawn from Blossom's active portfolio. You're not learning from history. You're watching deals unfold in real time.
AI-Era Angel Investing
A dedicated module on how AI is reshaping deal evaluation, sector theses, diligence speed and exit scenarios in 2026 and beyond.
Exits & Liquidity
Many angel courses stop at seed. This one covers exit routes, tender offers and liquidity events, taught from live deals.
European Framework, Global Lens
Built around EU law, including MiFID II. Covers where you actually invest: Europe, the UK and the US.
A Path to Co-Investment
Academy graduates can apply for Aspiring Angels membership. Angels then invest alongside the syndicate on individual deals.
Built by an Active Investor
Maria Koletsou is an active angel investor with 30+ personal investments. VC of the Year 2025 shortlist. Women Invest EU. The course is built from deals she is doing now.

What Members Say

Heard in the room
in Athens.

The first course I've taken where every example came from a deal I could actually invest in the following week. The line between education and execution disappeared completely.
Maria P.
CFO, Athens — Blossom Cohort I
I came in knowing finance. I left knowing how to read a cap table, write a deal memo, and say no to a founder gracefully.
Elena K.
Private equity professional — Cohort II
Maria doesn't teach angel investing. She does it in front of you and explains every decision. That's a completely different thing.

Angel Academy (BVDA) questions.

What makes the Angel Academy (BVDA) different?

It is built entirely on real angel investing cases, from pre-seed to pre-IPO.

Online and self-paced, with lifetime access to nine video modules and two live sessions with Maria Koletsou. The next intake starts on 25 January 2027 with 25 seats.

What does the Angel Academy (BVDA) cover?

Nine modules: the angel investor mindset, how startups are built and funded, deal sourcing and due diligence, valuation and term sheets, live deal analysis of a Blossom portfolio company, EU regulatory framework, portfolio management and follow-on, AI and the 2026 investing landscape, and exits and liquidity. Two live sessions are included.

How much does the Angel Academy (BVDA) cost?

EUR 490 as a one-time enrolment (early enrolment EUR 299 with code BVP2026 until 30 November 2026), with lifetime access to the self-paced modules.
