Helping women become investors.
Who is Sinéad Fitzgerald?
I've spent my career at the intersection of software, AI, healthcare, education and the public sector—most recently leading partnerships at Microsoft and Apple, where I helped SaaS and AI companies navigate enterprise co-sell, compliance, and close the kinds of deals that actually move the needle.
Here's what I learned: Women are already making million-dollar decisions at work. We're evaluating risk, spotting opportunity, and building products that scale. We have the judgment to be exceptional investors.
We just haven't been writing the checks.
So I'm building the infrastructure that changes that.
Vested Impact is where I share what I'm learning about investing, wealth-building, and why women need to be on both sides of the table. It's honest money conversations in plain English. Investment education that strips away the gatekeeping. Content that makes angel investing accessible, not intimidating.
Vested Angels is where that learning becomes action: an investment club for professional women who are ready to invest alongside other brilliant operators. We learn together, share deal flow, practice due diligence on real opportunities, and back founders we believe in—whether you're writing your first $1K check or your twentieth $50K check.
This isn't about someday. It's about now.
What drives this work:
When more women know how to invest, the whole ecosystem shifts. Who gets funded changes. Who builds generational wealth changes. Who sits at the cap table changes.
I believe:
Money conversations should be honest, plain English, and free of shame.
Impact and returns aren't enemies—they're allies.
Women don't need permission to invest; we need infrastructure.
Equity means removing barriers, not just talking about them.
There is extraordinary power in the collective.
Beyond Vested Impact, I'm co-chair of Code: Without Barriers (supporting women into AI and tech roles across Asia), pillar lead for Women in Software at the Software Australia Industry Association, and a member of the management committee of ThinkUKnow (focused on keeping kids safe online).
I'm a mum, an Irish migrant to Australia, and someone who refuses to accept that money should be a secret language reserved for people who went to the right schools.
If you're a professional woman who's been curious about angel investing but didn't know where to start, or if you're already investing but want community and co-learning, you're in the right place.
