AwakenAngels

AwakenAngels operates as a women-led investment syndicate dedicated to empowering women investors through structured education, community building, and curated deal flow. The platform democratizes access to early-stage investment, offering both new and seasoned angel investors the tools and knowledge necessary to make informed decisions and participate in venture capital. It employs a process that connects investors with pre-screened, high-growth potential opportunities from within the women founder ecosystem, fostering a network of informed investment.

The organization was established in 2023, co-founded by Mary McKenna and Clare McGee, with the foundational insight into the significant underrepresentation of women in angel investing and the corresponding lack of capital for women-led businesses. Recognizing this gap, AwakenAngels was created as the first and only all-island of Ireland women-led investment community, built specifically to address the unique needs and opportunities for women in the investment landscape.

AwakenAngels serves Irish-connected women globally who aspire to become angel investors, as well as women founders seeking pre-seed funding. By cultivating an engaged and knowledgeable investor community, the company aims to drive equity for women-led businesses, facilitating the growth of innovative ventures with a global outlook. Its long-term vision centers on transforming the investor and founder landscape by mobilizing capital and expertise to support a new generation of entrepreneurs.
