Feel the fear and do it anyway!

We are taking you on a journey to move from being a mentor into being an Angel Investor!

But not just any type of investor...

On top of their ability to judge a business rationally, Angels should also explore their own attitude to risk, their gut feelings, the way they are making decisions, in order to understand how they look at enterprises they could potentially invest in.

This is why we are training mentors to use both their rational and emotional judgements to become great Angels. 

An Activist Angel has a background in business (Corporate, SME, Social Business) and has women social entrepreneurs' development at heart.

Activist Angels do not just invest money, they start with investing knowledge and social capital, with a potential view to put investment  dollars/pounds into social ventures. Financial investment can take various shapes.

Being an angel can be a hobby, a part-time or a full-time occupation!

We have now developed an interactive Leadership Development Programme for Aspiring Activist Angels, in collaboration with Bonnie Foley-Wong, Chief Investment Innovator at Pique Ventures, Canada.

This programme looks at how you make decisions, how you take risks, how Social Entrepreneurs "think" and how to invest in ways that are relevant to you, based on how you want to develop in your life and career.

During the programme, we are also introducing participants to real social enterprises in our network.

I learnt that being an Angel is sometimes about validation and reassurance too!
