Do you only invest in women-led businesses?
No. We believe that our angels should invest in companies that align with their interests and that can benefit from their advice and guidance. We do not restrict ourselves to only investing in women-led businesses.
Can men apply for membership?
At 37 Angels, we aim to activate investors through startup investing trainings (i.e., bootcamps), with the goal of increasing diversity in investing. In particular, we seek to reduce the gender gap in angel investing. We recognize that our goal cannot be achieved without the support of allies and do not wish to exclude anyone on the basis of their gender. Please apply and/or email us at admin@37angels.com if you have any questions.
Do I have to be based in the New York area to join the NY chapter / Are you ever going to have a program outside of NYC?
We have had participants from South Africa, Hong Kong, San Diego, San Francisco, Boston, and beyond! Our pitch forums take place every 2 months in NYC and our investors often travel in for those events (our largest 2nd cities are San Francisco and Boston). We do record our pitch forums and many of our events can be joined virtually. However, you may lose out on some of the benefits of local networking. If you are interested in helping to coordinate a bootcamp in another city, email us at admin@37angels.com and let us know where you're based. We may come to your city next!
