Democratizing angel investing

Epic Angels is a network of female executives and operators who have built and expanded companies in all parts of the world. We are on track to become the largest female-only angel network in Asia. 

We make angel investing accessible. We give women the confidence to invest, by learning about the investment process, and understanding how other women invest.

Let’s change the game. Together.

Research shows, investors tend to back those they perceive as similar to them. Instead of convincing male investors to invest in women, we need to focus on increasing the percentage of female investors. We need to close the funding gap.

We will get you up and running

We know building a company is not easy. With our hands-on approach, we support startups teams with capital, knowledge, mentorship, and a global network.

Our focus is early-stage startups in Asia across all verticals. We invest in pre-seed, seed, and Series A rounds. We are strong advocates of female leadership. Having at least one woman on your executive team is required. 

Above all, we invest in people. We invest in founders who refuse to die. Founders who choose agility over ego.

FAQs

Getting started with angel investing can be daunting. You probably have lots of questions. We answered a few here. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any other question you have. 

Do you only invest in women? 

We invest in startups and founders with potential, no matter whether it is a woman or a man. Although at least one of the executive team members should be a woman. We actively scout startups with female founders. At least 75% of our portfolio companies are women-led. 

Is there a fee to join?

Not yet. The first three months are free to join. We meet once a month where you discuss the deals on the table, and you will have full access to all deals. After three months, you decide whether you want to continue or not. The annual fee is USD 750.

I have no experience. Can I join?

Absolutely! Every month, new angel investors join our network. You will see you have way more to contribute than you might think. We meet every month, and we have onboarding sessions to educate you on the basics. 

What is the average investment amount?

Start investing with small amounts. It is better to invest $5K in 10 companies instead of $50K in one. We often invest as a group through a syndicate, which allows you to invest with small amounts. You decide per startup whether you want to invest or not. 

Maaike – Angel investor

Being an angel investor is like taking an MBA. Instead of investing in an expensive university, I invest in startups and learn so much more, from both the startup founders and from the other angels within the Epic Angel Network.
