❌Bad news for women in the UK: On Jan 31 new legislation comes in increasing barriers to entry for women angel investors. ➡️Now: investors on angel investing platforms have to earn over £100k. ➡️Jan 31: new legislation raises it to £170k. 😡Issue: This will disproportionally impact the size of the pool of female investors in the UK & founders. Less female angels to invest in female founders, who because they only get 2% of VC money, rely heavily on angel funding. 🤯Unfathomable decision that needs urgent reversing pls @KemiBadenoch
