On February 3, 2025, atTRACTION held a highly insightful webinar for potential women investors in partnership with Marta Zarosa, a seasoned angel investor and the co-founder of two successful tech startups: indaHash and SmartKey. The session, titled “Are Startups for Me? Introduction to Angel Investing for Women”, provided a comprehensive look into the world of angel investing, especially in the early-stage startup ecosystem.

Marta shared her personal journey into angel investing, including her motivations for entering the field, lessons learned from both successes and mistakes, and key insights into navigating the Polish early-stage investment market. She emphasized that angel investing is a long-term commitment, based on relationships and trust, rather than short-term financial returns. The session also covered important topics like investing strategies, portfolio building, and how to manage investment risks.

Marta’s presentation offered real-life examples of her investments and the impact of angel investing, as well as the non-financial benefits such as gaining access to cutting-edge trends, personal growth, and the satisfaction of supporting founders.

Participants walked away with a better understanding of the challenges and rewards of being an angel investor, with practical tips for anyone looking to enter the space. The event fostered an open and interactive environment where attendees could reflect on how angel investing fits into their own professional and personal goals.
