Mo Angels

Mo Angels operates as Mauritius' first syndicated and non-profit angel investment group, facilitating early-stage funding for nascent companies. The organization primarily functions as a community of investors, channeling capital and support into startups across Mauritius and the broader African continent. Its approach involves pooling investor resources to address critical financing gaps and cultivate entrepreneurial development.

The company was founded in 2021 by Isabelle de Melo, Michel Cordani, and Marc Israel. The concept for Mo Angels crystallized from discussions at the African Angel Academy in 2019, where the co-founders identified a significant need for early-stage investment to foster innovation and economic progress in the region. The founders bring varied expertise, including extensive angel investing experience, leadership in incubators, and senior roles at major technology firms.

Mo Angels targets early-stage startups within Mauritius and Africa that require capital to scale and innovate. Its overarching mission is to drive angel investing, strategically fill funding voids, and nurture the entrepreneurial spirit to generate value across these dynamic markets. The organization envisions itself as a pivotal catalyst for identifying promising ideas and championing sustainable economic expansion.
