Women Angels of Wales (WAW) is Wales’ first female focussed angel investing community and network. Founded in 2022 by women committed to using their experience, skills and “smart capital” to help other Welsh women build great Welsh businesses. WAW has now grown into a thriving and active community of female angel investors.
Jointly supported by the Development Bank of Wales and the British Business Bank, we have access to co-investment of up to £250,000 per deal from the £8 million Development Bank of Wales’ Angel Co-investment Fund.
Our mission is to increase the number of women actively investing in and championing female-led Welsh businesses. While our focus is on empowering women, we also warmly welcome men who share our vision and want to benefit from being part of a diverse, high-potential investment portfolio.
