Womens Equity Lab’s (WEL) is a fun, collaborative and empowering way for women to actively engage in early-stage investing. Launched in 2017, we now make up a diverse and powerful network of 400+ women investors, with syndicates located in Victoria, Vancouver, Toronto, Manitoba, the Atlantic and Silicon Valley. Actively engaging women in the angel investment process translates into more women as advisors, board members, venture capitalists, angel investors and angel fund managers. In the WEL model, partners in the investment round meet regularly to learn how to invest in companies, discuss opportunities, vet deal flow and make investment decisions. Every participant ends up with a deeper understanding of the angel investment process, a portfolio of early-stage companies and a great network of accomplished women. Other benefits include: • Engaging with incredible entrepreneurs and investors • Building value for the community and society • Supporting companies that resonate with you and helping them grow • Participating in new fields, transforming industries and the latest innovations • Potentially making significant financial gains • Continuous learning while building value
