ALAO Invest, an alternative venture investing platform that unites influencer marketing with equity crowdfunding to elevate emerging consumer companies, will be hosting an online panel discussion on Wednesday, August 24 at 8 p.m. EDT to explore the evolution of the creator economy, angel investing, and the democratization of the private markets.

We are honored to highlight Taylor, Nicole, and Maggie, leaders in their respective fields who can help champion the next generation of aspiring angel investors," says Peter Sweeney, co-founder of ALAO.
"I carved my own path to get into private market investing -- there was no roadmap," says Maggie Sellers, angel investor, and advisor.
