Investment thesis

Angel Academe backs exceptional female founders through a diverse angel network and an associated EIS fund — described as the UK's first EIS fund for female founders. It invites angel investors to co-invest, encourages female founders to apply to pitch to its network, and works with a curated group of sponsors and partners. The focus is on improving gender diversity in early-stage investment by channelling angel capital and EIS-structured funding into companies led by women.
