Women’s Angel Event

Angel One and Haltech are inviting all women interested in learning about angel investing to join us. Women make up 51% of Canada’s population, yet only 24% of the angel group members in Canada are women.

More women are needed to be investors in early-stage companies, influential role models and mentors. And whether you are interested in supporting female founders or you have broader interests in the start-up ecosystem, you will meet like-minded women at this highly inclusive event. Join us and add your voice to the conversation.
