Equity Angels
Equity Angels is a social impact organization dedicated to fostering fair access to innovation and opportunity with the aim of advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion within the technology startup ecosystem through: 1) Accelerator programs 2) Executive placement 3) Resources for growth. We have a profound commitment to the concept of equity—a term that holds a dual significance in our mission. First, equity represents fairness, justice, and inclusivity, characterizing our unwavering dedication to expanding innovation, workplaces, and communities where everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive, regardless of their background, identity, or circumstances. Second, equity is an essential financial principle, embodying the idea of ownership and assets distributed impartially among stakeholders. We believe that these two connotations of equity are intrinsically linked, as fostering social equity goes hand in hand with promoting economic equity. Our passion lies in addressing both facets of equity to help entrepreneurs and organizations build diverse, inclusive, and financially sustainable futures—where everyone can soar together.
