A female investment initiative that has brought funding to a number of North East companies is launching a scheme to encourage more women to become investors.
Women Angels of the North, an all-female angel investment syndicate set up by Fund Her North, is working with the UK Business Angels Association to establish a Women Angels Education Hub. The hub will be targetted at women who are looking to find out more about angel investing or wanting to learn more following some initial involvement.
The hub will offer a full 12-hour Women Angels Investor Education Programme as part of the national ‘Women Backing Women’ campaign. It comes after the initiative secured seven deals, leveraging £2,406,000 for six businesses, including North East firms Safer Date, Atelerix and Rarecan.
