In this Seraf Compass webinar, host Alycia sits down with Andrew Kazlow — founder of PitchFact and host of the Diligent Observer podcast — to unpack the most revealing trends from his Q1 2026 Angel Network Investment Activity Report, plus a first-of-its-kind member satisfaction benchmark built with the Angel Capital Association.
Watch the full webinar recording here.
The numbers tell a fascinating story:
Healthcare and life sciences have quietly surged to ~43% of angel-backed deals.
AI is everywhere — not as its own category, but woven into 72% of deal descriptions as a core product component.
Syndication is on the rise.
And when it comes to what actually keeps angel group members engaged? It's not deal flow — it's community.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why healthcare dominates early-stage dealflow in 2026 — and what it means for investors
How AI has fundamentally changed screening, diligence, and what founders are building
The rise of multi-group syndication and what it signals about capital concentration
Geographic trends shaping where angel activity is clustering
What drives member satisfaction in angel networks (the answer may change how you run yours)
Practical frameworks for building an AI policy inside your investment group
Whether you're a seasoned angel, a group organizer, or just tracking where early-stage capital is flowing — this conversation is dense with signal.
