Creating access for change-makers
Creating access for change-makers
... that out of 15,000 high-growth private businesses in APAC, only 5.7% are led or managed by women?
And that female founders only get 2% of VC capital globally?
It is a missed chance for a better world, as women are twice more likely to build for social or environmental impact.
So let's change that.
Epic Angels is the largest network of female angel investors investing in APAC.
With over 400 investors in 30 countries, we support early stage startups with capital, knowledge, mentorship, and a global network.
Our goal is to empower women through education and a peer-community, giving them the confidence to make informed investment decisions and become change-makers through allocating capital.

Entrepreneurship is a rewarding path, whether you are looking for personal fulfilment (got more in you?), a new career (ready for a new challenge or got laid off?), more flexibility (work on your own terms?)
