Angel Academe

Angel Academe is a UK-based angel investor network that has invested in 53 female-founded startups since it was established in 2014. It runs an EIS fund, described as the UK's first EIS fund for female founders, which invests alongside its angel network. The network brings together angel investors who back female founders, and separately invites female founders to apply to pitch to the network. It also works with sponsors and partners who join what it describes as a curated partner group. Angel Academe notes that investing through it is high-risk and that investors are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong, and states that its EIS fund promotion has been approved by Syndicate Room Ltd. The network has been covered by UK publications including the Financial Times, the Telegraph, the Evening Standard and the Times.
