Calling All Veteran, New and Aspiring Angel Investors – Join Us to Explore the Opportunity, Benefits and Impact of Angel Investing at the Womxn Angel Investor Breakfast
Are you intrigued by the idea of angel investing? Interested in engaging with experienced founders? Would you appreciate the opportunity to hear directly from investment leaders?
The Capital Angel Network and Invest Ottawa are hosting this event for current and aspiring women angel investors, supporters and promoters as part of International Womxn’s Week in Ottawa.
According to Crunchbase’s 2019 Diversity Report, only 3% of venture capital went to companies led by a female founder. Moreover, it predicts that the total venture funding for founding teams that include a women is likely to fall below 2018 levels.
How do we move the dial on this? We need more women on the other side of the table making investment decisions. According to All In: Women in the VC Ecosystem 2019 by Pitchbook and All Raise, they are twice as likely to invest in female founders as their male counterparts. Today, only 12% of American VC decision makers are women. However, 69.2% of the top-performing funds have female General Partners as reported by Forbes.
We aim to:
• Consistently increase the number of women angel investors in Canada’s Capital and inspire similar action across the country and around the world; and
• Create new and impactful opportunities for experienced female funders and founders to encourage and support aspiring and early-stage women entrepreneurs.
Help us achieve these goals, and drive positive change. Join us for breakfast on March 3 to:
• Learn the basics of angel investing;
• Hear from existing women angels in Ottawa;
• Network with fellow like-minded women in our community, and
• Learn about some of the top women-founded companies in the city.
We look forward to making a special announcement, and welcoming an esteemed panel of Ottawa angel investors and founders moderated by Jennifer Francis, Chair of the Capital Angel Network. This inspiring group includes:
