Accelerating Angels Foundation supports women-owned startups with educational programs, funding and mentoring. Accelerating Angels Fund I invests in high-growth, early-stage, and exceptionally led, women-owned businesses that are ready to scale and exit within 3-7 years. Our mission is to provide an opportunity for women-owned companies to secure much-needed funding for the accelerated growth of their organization. We seek to create wealth for the founders and the investors that support them. Research shows that access to capital at the early stage of business is the biggest barrier to growth for women founders. We want to help change that. We believe women are leading the pack with startups that can make a positive technological, environmental, and social impact on the world with their innovative products and services. Accredited investors and non-accredited investors are welcome to join us as we build an inclusive investor and founder ecosystem.
