Epic Angels is democratizing angel investing. We make angel investing accessible. We give women the confidence to invest, by learning about the investment process, and understanding how other women invest. Epic Angels is a network of female executives and operators who have built and expanded companies in all parts of the world. We are the largest female-only angel network in Asia Pacific and Latinoamerica. Research shows, investors tend to back those they perceive as similar to them. Instead of trying to convince male investors to invest in women, we need to focus on increasing the percentage of female investors. We need to close the financial gender gap. Our focus is early-stage startups in APAC and LATAM across all verticals. We invest in pre-seed, seed and series A rounds. Our ticket sizes range from 50K to 250K USD. We are strong advocates for female leadership, and invest in startups with at least one woman on the executive team. Most importantly, we invest in people. Founders who refuse to die and choose agility over ego.

Impact Investment Exchange (IIX) bridges the gap between finance and development. IIX is a core member of the International Capital Markets Association, a strategic member of IMP Impact Measurement and Management Practice, and a part of the BAPPENAS Advisory Committee on Blue Finance. We are also proud to be affiliated with the World Economic Forum Social Enterprise Alliance, UNICEF Child Bond Working Group, the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) and the Asian Venture Philanthropy Network (AVPN). As a pioneer of impact investing, we build pathways to connect the Wall Streets of the world with the backstreets of underserved communities by measuring and unlocking investment capital. We achieve sustainable development and equitable growth through working with investors, entrepreneurs and ecosystem partners to raise capital, empowering stakeholders with rigorous advice/research for sound actions, and pushing the impact investing space from the margins to the mainstream. Our activities focus on three key pillars that we believe are crucial to creating a better world: promoting gender equality, driving climate action and building vibrant, resilient communities. With our work we aim to impact 100 million lives by 2025. IIX is based in Singapore and operates globally.
