Across the country just 14% of angel investors are female. A stat which shows just how much work there is to do in this space. We know that 25-50% of a female angel's portfolio is made up of female founded companies. If we want to see more female founded companies get funding ( 📢 spoiler alert - we do!) then we need to encourage more females into angel investing.
The more females we see getting funded, the more we will see coming out as successful exited entrepreneurs with the capacity to invest in other women. We need to build that virtuous circle and we need to do this by encouraging more women into angel investing.
At Anglia Capital Group we are on a mission to increase the number of female angel investors in our region. Consider this a call to arms, not just to women but to our male allies as well! If you would like to get involved in helping us turn the dial, share this with your female colleagues, talk about the importance of bringing in more female investors, speak to female founders in your network.
We are planning a series of events for women who are interested in finding out more about angel investing. If you, or anyone you know would like to be a part of this please contact laura@angliacapitalgroup.co.uk and let’s work together.
