Yesterday I joined an investor panel for the #WEInnovate National female founder programme, with founders from @imperialcollege @QUB_Innovation @SwanseaUni @UofGlasgow It was an honest discussion about what early-stage investors are really looking for & how women can navigate the funding journey with more confidence. I shared how I came into investing & why we set up @AwakenAngelsHQ to mobilise not just capital, but also experience and networks to back ambitious founders. To make #angelinvesting accessible for the many and not the few. @AwakenHub @maguirekat
