Empowering the Next Gen of Angels

About us

ESIL is aiming to boost the innovation and investment ecosystems in the European Union by supporting angel investing communities. In 2024, a new program is starting to focus particularly on countries where angel investing is less advanced: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Romania, Poland and Hungary. ESIL is especially focusing on mentoring women and young investors and supporting investment in diversity. The vision of the initiative is to empower the changing face of European angel investment and reinforce the gender parity of investors. The project is run by a consortium composed of META Group, BAE and Bpifrance. ESIL is funded by the European Union. If you are a business angel, early-stage investor, part of a crowdfunding network, an incubator and accelerator or an entrepreneur – join the ESIL community on EuroQuity! You can interact with other individual investors, BAs, crowdfunding platforms, early-stage VCs and highly innovative companies.

    📢🔥 Look back to the Gender Diversity in Angel Investments Workshop 🔥 📆 On Thursday, 11th July, we had the pleasure of hosting a workshop on Gender Diversity in Angel Investments. The workshop featured a thought-provoking presentation by Henry Whorwood from Beauhurst, who shed light on the glaring disparity in the number of female angel investors compared to their male counterparts in the UK. 📊 The data presented by Henry was eye-opening. Out of the 36,800 identified angels, only 5,000 were women. Even more striking was the fact that the proportion of prolific female angels was even smaller. This highlights the urgent need to address the gender gap in angel investing and create an inclusive environment. 💡 Henry emphasized the importance of comprehensive data to inform policies aimed at increasing women's participation in angel investing. Without accurate and gender-specific data, it becomes challenging to develop effective policy measures that can empower and encourage more women to venture into angel investing. 🔑 In conclusion, the workshop emphasized the importance of detailed, gender-specific data for guiding policy measures and support activities to increase women's participation in angel investing. It is crucial to bridge the gender gap in this field and create an encouraging environment for women to become angel investors. 💡 If you missed Henry's presentation, don't worry! We will be sharing the workshop records soon. Stay tuned for updates on our LinkedIn page. Find Henry's presentation here: https://bit.ly/4bNH67t Let's work together to empower women in the world of angel investing! 💪💼🚀 #GenderDiversity #AngelInvesting #EmpoweringWomen #InclusiveEnvironment #DataDrivenPolicies #WomenInBusiness #InvestingInWomen
