Our Explorer program exists to cultivate the next generation of angel investors in Australia and New Zealand. We want to bring wider diversity and inclusion to an old-school industry and supercharge the support for brilliant founders from the earliest stages of their journey. 

Through the program, Explorers get access to world-class insights and education on the 101 of angel investing, the best angel network in the region, a sneak peek into our internal Investment Committee meetings, and funds to invest. 

Our goal: By the end of the program, you’re a deep, critical thinker on early-stage startups and have the confidence to find and invest in your own deals.

Program overview

This is a choose-your-own adventure style program with a minimum time commitment of 1.5 hours per fortnight, all the way to as many hours as you can spare–it’s entirely up to you.

There are 3 core components to the program:

• Fortnightly workshops with an Airtree Partner or expert.
• Community catchups with your fellow Explorers to discuss content and potential investments you've seen.
• Explorers in the wild get out and attend local events and pitch nights to meet new founders and network within the startup ecosystem.
