FAQs
Got a question? We've got answers.
Do you only invest in women?
We invest in startups and founders with potential, no matter whether it is a woman or a man. Although at least one of the C-level team members should be a woman. We actively scout startups with female founders. At least 75% of our portfolio companies are women-led.
Is there a fee to join?
Not yet. The first three months are free to join. We meet once a month where you discuss the deals on the table, and you will have full access to all deals. After three months, you decide whether you want to continue or not. The annual membership is USD 575.
I am a man. Can I join?
Sorry guys, Epic Angels is for female investors only. We all read about the funding gap. Currently, only 2% of venture capital goes to women-led startups despite it being well-established that gender diversity leads to higher financial returns. Instead of trying to convince men to invest in these female founders, we believe the solution is to create more female investors.
What is the average investment amount?
As a collective, we invest up to 250K USD per startup through syndication. This allows each investor to join with amounts as low as 1,500 USD. You decide per startup whether you want to invest or not.
I have no experience. Can I join?
Absolutely! Every month, new angel investors join our network, both seasoned investors and newbies. You will see you have way more to contribute than you might think. We meet every month, and we have onboarding sessions to educate you on the basics. Check the 'Education' tab on this page to find more resources.
How much should I set aside to invest?
The guidelines are, not to invest more than 10% of your total assets in startups. This is one of the riskier asset classes. To mitigate your risk, it is recommended to build a portfolio of startup investments, and not investing in just one.
