Strapping on your angel wings to support other women, with investor Deepali Nangia

Brave New Girls - Well Beings, Well Planet

This week’s guest is Deepali Nangia, winner of the 2021 UK BAA Angel Investor award. She is the co-founder of Alma Angels, a venture partner in Speedinvest, a venture capital fund; and an angel investor in Atomico Angel. With just 1% of venture funding going to businesses founded by female teams Deepali reveals why she invests in female-led businesses.
 
Lou and Deepali discussed how she was working in the city, reaching senior level for 12 years, and what that environment like for her as an asian woman and often ‘the only woman in the room’ We talked about how she was passed over for promotion – ie demoted to the ‘Mummy track” at a city firm. But she got into angel investing, saw there was an inequality there too and decided to be part of the solution. 

She defines courage as embracing the fact that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

 Thanks Deepali for showing that even when everything seems stacked against us, we can make positive changes not just for ourselves but for those we want to support.
