Demystifying Angel Investing for Women

Ulster Bank, UK Business Angels Association, Women in Business NI, AwakenHub and British Business Bankare delighted to bring you an informal information morning focused on explaining some of the mystery around angel investing for women. Northern Ireland has a much lower number of female angel investors than its neighbours in GB and the Republic of Ireland and no-one is really sure why that is.

Organised as part of the UK wide Women Backing Women campaign, we’d like to spend this time showcasing how active angel investment into early stage businesses can be both an interesting and rewarding pastime for women as well as a key part of any woman’s financial portfolio. In the room will be some experienced angel investors who will share their stories and explain how they got started with angel investing (and why they continue!)

We’ll do some myth busting (no you don’t need to be a millionaire!) and also showcase some startup founders who have raised pre-seed and seed investment from angels in Northern Ireland and who will talk about how that experience has been for them.

Our speakers and panellists will be finalised in the coming weeks, so at this stage this is a “Save the Date”.

Who should attend?

This event is suitable for anyone with an interest in becoming an angel investor who would like to find out more and have an opportunity to have any questions they might have answered in an informal and no-pressure environment.

You do not need to have made any investments to attend. All you need is curiosity to discover more. It is also suitable for any financial advisors or accountants who would like to become more familiar with the advantages of angel investing in order to offer this as a viable addition to their female clients.
