Key people at MIA - Mulheres Investidoras Anjo.
MIA - Mulheres Investidoras Anjo operates as a dedicated movement designed to cultivate and amplify angel investment spearheaded by women. The organization focuses on promoting female participation within the angel investment sphere and actively supports women entrepreneurs leading innovative startups. Its methodology involves building a robust network, providing educational resources, and fostering an ecosystem where women can effectively deploy capital and mentorship.
The movement was co-founded in December 2013 by Maria Rita Spina Bueno, Ana Fontes, and Camila Farani. Maria Rita Spina Bueno, already a prominent figure within Anjos do Brasil since 2011, identified a critical lack of female representation in the investment landscape. This insight, shared with Ana Fontes from Rede Mulher Empreendedora and Camila Farani, then of Lab22, spurred the creation of MIA to address this systemic imbalance.
MIA serves women seeking to become angel investors and female founders endeavoring to secure early-stage capital and strategic guidance for their ventures. The company's overarching vision is to foster a more equitable and dynamic entrepreneurial environment. It aims to achieve this by significantly increasing the number of women involved in angel investing, thereby championing diversity as a cornerstone for developing impactful, innovative businesses.
