What is an angel investor?
Individual investors who provide capital to a business, often small or startups, in exchange for convertible debt or ownership equity.
As an angel investor you have the ability to influence money flows to direct it to founders you want to support in launching and into businesses you want to see in the world.
Angel investing, made accessible.
You don’t need a finance background or a fortune. You need to know how a check gets written, what you’re buying, and whether this is for you.
Under 2% of venture funding goes to women-owned businesses. We think that’s a mispricing, not a charity case.
