Why It Matters

Right now, only 14% of the UK’s 36,800 angel investors are women. Just 2% of institutional investment goes to women-led companies. But when women do invest, the results are game-changing.

25% of companies backed by female angels are female-founded
These businesses can deliver 35–63% better returns than male-led counterparts
And if women had equal access to funding and support, £250 billion could be added to the UK economy

Investing Women Angels (IWA) is here to shift that balance, and we want to equip you with the tools and knowledge you need to be part of it.

About Investing Women Angels

We’re one of the UK’s longest-standing all-female angel syndicates, backing female-founded, mission-led businesses across sectors.

So far, we’ve:

£2.5M invested in 28 companies
£55M leveraged through syndicate partnerships
800+ mentoring sessions delivered
550+ jobs created by our portfolio companies
700% growth in both investment into female founders and the number of female angels in Scotland

Whether you’re interested in investing, seeking investment, or simply want to learn more, this is your invitation to join our movement.

What to Expect

Led by our COO and angel investor Nicki Thomson-Berwick, this 60-minute session offers:

A relaxed intro to what angel investing is, and who can do it
Why does getting more women involved make such a difference
A look behind the scenes at how IWA works
Insight into the tax benefits available via SEIS/EIS
