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.

Founded in 2011, Cento Ventures is a venture capital firm dedicated to supporting early-stage tech startups in Southeast Asia, positioning them to become market leaders. We are a multidisciplinary team of domain experts, fundraisers, deal makers and operators with over 100 years of collective experience in Southeast Asia. Through our deep industry expertise and networks in the region, we are able to offer data-driven insights to help our portfolio founders gain a solid understanding of the tech landscape. At Cento, we love going into the trenches with our founders: we believe that adopting a hands-on approach makes a significant impact on their growth journey. To date, the Cento team has facilitated over a quarter-billion dollars of proceeds earned by our portfolio founders. Cento Ventures adopts an industry-agnostic investment thesis but with a keen interest in digital financial services. We believe embedded finance is critical in catalysing revolutionary change across all business sectors — strengthening value chains at every touchpoint, meeting dynamic industry demands and accelerating digital transformation.
