A new event aimed at encouraging more women into angel investing takes place next month.
Hosted by Dorset Business Angels (DBA), the free webinar – called the ‘A-Z of Angel Investing’ – is held on May 18.
It will be hosted by Jenny Tooth OBE, CEO of UK Business Angels Association.
Jenny said: “I am thrilled to be hosting this event and welcoming a wonderful mix of women from across the UK, keen to learn more about the possibilities and opportunities in angel investing.
“Recent research into women in angel investing has shown that the proportion of women investors is very low compared to their male counterparts, with 85 per cent of investors being male and yet the national picture shows that 45 per cent of the nation’s wealth is owned by women.
“We are keen to investigate the reasons behind this and change the statistics.
“Angel investors come from a diverse range of backgrounds, but nearly all have one goal in common – they want to use their money and experience to help young entrepreneurs scale up their businesses to the point where they will achieve a successful exit over a five to seven year time frame.”
The programme includes:
