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 connects angel investors with early-stage entrepreneurs seeking capital, focusing on practical participation in investment activities rather than traditional classroom instruction. Participants engage in workshops, networking events, and a competitive pitch event, culminating in investment decisions that support the regional startup ecosystem.
