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 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 this event we welcome women who are interested in finding out more about angel investing.
With special thanks to our sponsor for this event - British Business Bank.
