It's time to democratize access to startup investing.
You want to become an angel investor, but if you're like most high-achieving women, you've probably had this problem.
You don't know what you need to do to start confidently building your wealth with impact.
We’ve been where you are and we totally get it. So if you...
- Are ready to invest in the next diverse-led, rocket ship startup, but don’t know where to start.
- Are a feminist, idealist, rationalist, or ambitious trendsetter, but haven’t found the right community where your badass-ery will make the most impact.
- Feel like you’re an outsider looking in on the world of venture capital and startup financing with FOMO, but you want to dive in and learn.
- Want to leverage your hard-earned expertise to support entrepreneurs and grow your startup portfolio, while generating returns and making an impact.
You're in the right place.
After investing in more than 150 diverse-led, early-stage startups and scoring five unicorns, we've launched FEMPIRE x SoGal to empower more women and diverse people with the resources and network they need to achieve their investing goals and build their wealth with impact.
