Women Angel Insights
The impact of
female angels
on the UK economy
Female angel investors have a key role to play in the early-stage funding landscape, as a significant proportion of their deals go to female founders.
This landmark report—the first comprehensive picture of female angel investment in the UK—shows that, over the past decade, female angels have been involved in deals worth over £2b, helping to create more than 10k jobs, and supporting more than 1k female-founded businesses. Yet women still represent the minority.
Inside, we uncover new data on the angel investment market, and highlight eight individuals that are exemplars of how women are using their finance and experience to proactively back female entrepreneurs.
