Angel Academe - increasing female investment

Angel Academe

We make angel investing easy, fun and rewarding for women and men who want to be part of a diverse angel community.

Angel Academe is a fast-growing and award-winning angel network. We’re a mix of entrepreneurs, senior professionals/operators and people enjoying portfolio careers. We have an appetite for educated risk and potentially higher returns than other asset classes. Most of us are women, but men who want to be part of a diverse network are also very welcome. 

We invest in ambitious and highly scalable technology businesses with at least 1 woman on the founding team. Through collaboration with experienced angels as well as technology and sector specialists, we help members pool their money, expertise and resources to perform due diligence, build a portfolio of smart investments and support the businesses they invest in.

Since 2014, our members have invested in over 45 early stage businesses in clean tech, health tech, fin tech, enterprise, ed tech etc. Collectively they've gone on to raise £100m+ in investment from both angels and VCs, generate £millions in revenues, deliver considerable social impact and employ getting on for 1,000 people.

Ever wanted to know what it's like building a startup? Then tune into Tess Isabelle Cosad talking to Hattie Willis about the Béa Fertility story 👇  

https://lnkd.in/e79MtFut

Tess & the team have shed blood, sweat and tears - literally. They cried when they launched AND when they heard the first Béa Babies had been born 🤱 

But there have been funny moments too - blue vaginas, fake semen flying everywhere, using the iPhone editing tool to blur anatomy in images...🤣 

Building a startup feels a bit like making a baby – really, really hard, sometimes heartbreaking, a bit lonely, but filled with exhilaratingly joyful moments too.
