As part of Taotter’s broader mission to support early-stage startups, LAC serves as the Taotter Academy for Angel Investors. While Taotter helps founders hire trained remote talent to launch MVPs, raise funds, and scale efficiently, LAC focuses on the investor side—training angels to identify, support, and grow promising opportunities. As startups are trained to execute, investors are trained to identify, support, and grow those opportunities.
