Alma Angels

Alma Angels is an investment firm focused on addressing the gender disparity in venture capital. Their core mission is to generate $1 trillion in women-led wealth by 2050. They aim to achieve this by backing women (co)founders building tech or IP-rich ventures with global ambitions. The firm believes that diverse cheque writers are essential for funding underrepresented founders, given that women founders outperform yet receive disproportionately less venture capital. They focus on increasing the pool of diverse angel investors to create a more equitable funding landscape. Alma Angels sees the growth of diverse cheque writers as the key to impact on underrepresented founders. Their strategy involves building an active and diverse community comprised of women who can invest in early-stage ventures. They focus on education, community building, networking, and providing opportunities for investors and founders. This ecosystem is designed to empower women to participate more actively in the venture capital space, both as investors and entrepreneurs. By facilitating these connections, they hope to support ventures that might otherwise be overlooked by traditional venture capital firms. The firm invests not only in women-founded startups but also in women-led funds, showcasing their commitment to supporting women at all levels of the investment ecosystem. This includes funds like Zinc VC, Passion Capital, January Ventures, Pact VC, auxxo, and neokuma. Alma Angels' origin comes from the belief that changing the venture landscape requires changing its face. They are trying to close the gap created by the fact that only 14% of angels in UK and Europe are women and that people of colour are widely underrepresented. They point out that women founders generate 2.5x of revenues for every dollar of funding versus male founders, and seek to address this imbalance.
