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.

Cultural intelligence is not a soft skill. It is a strategic asset. The Culture Factor Singapore brings the worlds leading framework for interpreting national and organisational culture, the Hofstede 6D model, to managers, leaders and organisations to help them navigate the complexity of cultural difference and turn it from a source of friction into a competitive advantage. With Singapore being the worlds most concentrated centre of cultures meeting commerce, understanding cultural differences is a necessity. We offer bespoke services in three areas: For leaders managing multicultural teams, we offer individual coaching or team workshops using the Culture Compass diagnostic, a research-based assessment that maps personal cultural preferences and identifies where differences need to be understood and managed across cultures. For organisations, we deliver an Organisational Culture Survey, a structured diagnostic that measures actual organisational culture across six dimensions and defines the gap between where a culture is and where it needs to be to deliver strategy. Based on these results, we create workshops and team programmes including executive coaching to support the changes needed. For marketing and brand teams, we offer Consumer Culture Intelligence, a framework for understanding how cultural values shape consumer behaviour across markets and how to apply that understanding to build more effective communications and brand strategy. If you or your organization are building multicultural teams, building cross border leadership capability, or trying to better understand the cultural dynamics of your markets, we would love to connect.
