About Future Angels
We’re on a mission to introduce 10,000 women into the world of angel investing. Currently, only 15% of angel investors are women meaning there is a huge gap in representation for the diverse need for capital and innovation.
Future Angels creates space for women to connect and talk about their curiosities of angel investing without any required prerequisites of wealth or knowledge.
Future Angels is brought to you by South East Angels, supported by British Business Bank.
