The women investor network (WIN) of angel investment platform LetsVenture has developed a structured, cohort-based learning programme to encourage more women to participate in angel investing.

Women CXOs will be able to invest in early and growth-stage firms through the Women Angel Network. Women angel investors will also be able to advise entrepreneurs through the site. LetsVenture plans to bring on at least 100 female angel investors by 2021, as well as start at least five female-led investment syndicates.

Cohort-based learning, participation with other angel investors, and open networking circles for women will all be part of the learning programme.

When founder Shanti Mohan looked at their portfolio earlier this year, he discovered that the platform had investors from 55 nations, with less than 1% of the investors being women. There were just about 25 women investors.

“The idea of our programme is to introduce more women to angel investing, & , all the way to legal and financial due diligence, and building their personal brand as an angel investor,” Mohan said.

This year, Mohan wants to sign up 100 female angel investors, 5 syndicate leads, and 2 female general partners. In June, WIN graduated its inaugural cohort of 34 women, 15 of whom have successfully written their first check and are now active angel investors. Ten women signed two or more checks. About 5% of women have expressed an interest in writing checks for early-stage companies. s. The second cohort begins in September.

The inaugural cohort included Shalini Nautiyal, a senior product manager at in Berlin. In 2013, she founded a hyperlocal activity finding platform, which was acquired two years later.

 “We got a lowdown on what is the total available market, serviceable available market, and serviceable obtainable market,” she said.
