What even is angel investing?

It’s when you, not a bank and not a VC fund, put your own money into a startup right at the beginning. Before the traction. Before the headlines. Before everyone else catches on.

In return you get equity: a slice of ownership. If the company grows, that slice can be worth a lot. If it doesn’t, it can be worth nothing. That’s the deal.

Why the girls should care

Someone decides every day which ideas get built and which founders get funded. That someone is rarely a woman. Investing is a financial decision and a cultural one: it’s about power, ownership and who gets to say this is worth building.
