Participants will be assigned to the emerging or evolving angel program based on their previous investment experience.
Why?
Supernovas is committed to increase the number of women in the innovation ecosystem, both entrepreneurs and investors. Business Angels are key players in the early stages of startup development and currently only around 10% of them are women in Europe. We aim to increase both that percentage and the weight and activity of female business angels in Europe.
