Grow Music: Angel Investing School
Alongside our 12 week business support programme, Grow Music is also delivering a free-to-attend, online Angel Investing School, complete with an optional graduation ceremony at Abbey Road in early 2025.
The course is being delivered by Andy Ayim, MBE, who has a successful track record in designing and delivering his Angel Investing School across the globe, for clients including Microsoft and Google.
Andy launched Angel Investing School with a key mission: to train the next generation of angel investors with the confidence, community and skills to get started investing in start-ups.

Whether you're retired, an experienced professional, or a successful founder, Angel Investing School has crafted an all-encompassing experience.
Grow Music will allow a bespoke Angel Investing School exclusively designed for the music community.
Grow Music’s Angel Investing School will be open to anyone from underrepresented backgrounds in the music industry, working at a senior level and earning around or over £100,000 ($200,000 in the US).
