Backbone Angels

Backbone Angels is a collective of women in tech who are united around the same goal: funding—and empowering—founders, businesses, and ideas that are often overlooked. Since March 2021, we’ve backed over 42 companies and deployed over $2.3M USD in capital to women founders—and we’re just getting started. We believe that there is space for many founders to thrive and be successful, and we know that access to the resources it takes to succeed is not equitably distributed. We want to help close that gap. We look for forward-thinking founders solving problems in a scalable way. Each angel invests their own capital in the startups they choose to back based on their own interests and criteria (see our bios for more info). Every investment may be a little different, but each is based on the same thing: a deep belief in the founding team and the problem they are trying to solve. ‍You may find that only one or all ten Backbone Angels will choose to invest capital in your business, but the benefit is that if even one of us invests, founders will have access to the expertise of the full collective. Backbone Angels can help you scale using the experience and expertise we have acquired over many years of working at the forefront of a fast-paced, cutting-edge industry and as founders ourselves.
