Currently\, only 15-18% of all angel investors are women\, just 1% of angel investors are black\, and there is a general lack of diversity of thought and experience to appropr iately represent the need for capital and innovation.\n\n​​​The worl d of Venture Capital can feel quite difficult to get into\, and if you don ’t know anyone who is actively investing in startups\, who do you learn from? How do you get started?\n\n​​​We launched Future Angels to pro vide a valuable community to the next generation of angel investors with a n aim to create a space for you to meet with other like-minded individuals where you can learn\, build connections\, and develop the skills to becom e an angel investor.\n\n​​​We believe that by demystifying the world of Venture Capital and creating a valuable community we can make it more accessible and encourage people from all backgrounds to become angel inves tors.\n\n​​Who should join?\nAnyone who is serious about becoming an a ngel investor in the near future which means being able to invest anywhere from £1\,000+ into multiple startups.\n\n​​​What is an angel inves tor?\nAn angel investor is someone who provides capital for early-stage st artups and entrepreneurs\, in exchange for ownership equity in the company .\n\n​​​Future Angels is powered by South East Angels\nSouth East An gels was founded in late 2020 with the objective of increasing investment activity in the region. Today\, the community is made up of 20+ investors who have made 10 investments to date\, making the group the most active b usiness angel investors in the city. We like to challenge the status quo o f the traditional angel network by delivering a social investing experienc e for our members.
