Founders

Please note, due to the current Covid-19 situation, our pitch meetings are taking place online.

At Investing Women, we are passionate about founders who want to scale their business. Our business Angels have a wealth of experience across a variety of sectors; many of whom are or have run their own business, so we understand the excitement and the challenges that you will be facing.

Our preference is to invest in Scottish-based companies and we are particularly interested in companies with one or more female founder.

We receive a high volume of approaches, so please make sure you have read the application process and further information for successful forwarding to our screening group. Our Investing Women Angel group meets six times throughout the year.


Capital

Our usual range of investment is between £50K and £250K of seed capital in early stage ventures that are based in Scotland and the United Kingdom.  We currently do not invest internationally. We are also able to look at considerably larger investments collaborating with other angel groups.

More Information

Often teams and companies aren’t ready for investment when they first make an approach and simply want to learn about angel investing and being prepared for it.  Our sister organisation, AccelerateHER offers a range of bootcamps and workshops to help female founders become investment ready. Visit our events programme to view our current schedule of AccelerateHER Events & Training.

Application Process

Investing Women are now inviting founders to apply to pitch on our dedicated application portal Startup Includer.

The questions on the portal will ensure you provide all the information our screening group requires to consider your application for pitching. This includes information on:

  • Your business model,
  • Your market,
  • Your intellectual property,
  • Your financial projections.

 

We are particularly keen to hear from businesses that have:

  • An innovative technology or business model
  • A founding team rather than an individual
  • Validation of the product and/or business model
  • A clear understanding of the route to market for the product
  • A business that it scalable beyond the Scottish or UK marketplace
  • An indication of either SEIS or EIS status.

 

Our screening group will review all applications and we will contact you to let you know if you have been successful or if we require more information.

Please note, in line with most angel groups, we charge founders a 5% admin fee on any investment successfully raised from our group.
