The San Diego Angel Conference (SDAC) is an eight-month cycle-based investor education and startup investment program operated through partnerships between San Diego State University (SDSU), University of San Diego (USD), and the San Diego startup community. The program has grown to become one of the largest event-based angel conferences in the United States, connecting angel investors with early-stage entrepreneurs seeking capital. The overarching goal of SDAC is to activate new angel investors by providing a learn-by-doing environment resulting in one or more scalable startup investments.
