Investor School is a community of accredited angel and startup investors--alumni of the invitation-only [Y Combinator (YC) Startup Investor School](https://investor.startupschool.org/) workshop held in March 2018. Following that workshop, participants self-organized to share information, cultivate professional relationships, and source investment deals. The group thus indirectly was launched by YC but is now self-governed and is not affiliated. Many Investor School members maintain close ties with YC as former YC founders and active investors. Further, despite the "school" name, the vast majority of, if not all, Investor School members are accomplished technology startup entrepreneurs or experienced software executives.

For its members and partners, Investor School provides value as infrastructure to 1) communicate and connect to excellent, well-connected active angel investors, and 2) early access to some of the world's most-promising emerging technology companies. The group maintains a private Slack workgroup and organizes monthly events in the Bay Area. Recent Investor School meetings featured prominent speakers such as Sri Chandrasekar (Partner, Point72), Tim Draper (Founder, DFJ), Ben Narasin (Venture Partner, NEA), and Priya Rajan (Director of Early Stage, SVB). The meetups routinely also hosts 5-10 highly curated pitches from very early companies.

The group is administered by [Brad Flora](https://angel.co/brad-flora) (YC S11), [Alan Glennon](https://angel.co/glennon) (Angel), [Tim Suzman](https://angel.co/tim-s) (YC S11), and [Judy Yang](https://angel.co/judy-yang) (Angel). Inquiries about Slack channel creation and membership invitations can be directed to any of these administrators. The group does not make collective investments; is volunteer led; and no dues or fees are collected. The community is committed to fostering a welcoming, harassment-free environment for its members.
