Vested Angels

Vested Angels is a curated, cohort-based angel investing syndicate running on Aussie Angels PTY LTD platform. It’s for professional women in Australia and New Zealand who want to learn, build confidence, and back values-aligned founders.

Together, we learn how to evaluate startups, practise due diligence, and develop the judgment that supports better investment decisions.

No prior investing experience required. Just curiosity, commitment, and a desire to learn.

Please note: participating in investment opportunities may require sophisticated or wholesale investor eligibility and platform verification. In Australia, this often involves a current qualified accountant’s certificate confirming the relevant income or asset thresholds.

Built for women who:

  • have capital you want to put to work more intentionally

  • are curious about angel investing, but want a supported starting point

  • care who gets funded, not just what gets funded

  • prefer to learn and invest with others rather than do it alone

  • want to have a say in where capital goes next

If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.

Because if we want more women-led companies funded, we need more women investing.
