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.

Humble is a circular economy startup, helping businesses with the products theyre struggling to sell. We do this sustainably, with excellent service and high value recovery. We bring every item back into circularity! Humble does this by working with companies to handle their inventory that would otherwise end up in landfills. We sell the high value items on Thrift by Humble, our own circular living e-commerce store, while everything else goes to our network of B2B recyclers, resellers and upcyclers. Weve been successfully doing this with some of the top brands, e-commerce and logistics companies in the country! If you have items to sell or youre interested in buying quality and affordable products, please reach out to us. Our ‘reason’ is to build a platform and community where anything can be brought back into circularity by anyone!
