ArcAngels is a member-based angel investment organisation focused on building investor knowledge and dedicated to investing in early stage businesses that are led or managed by women across New Zealand. We believe that ArcAngels will empower women entrepreneurs, strengthen their competitiveness and maximise the success of New Zealand’s small business engine for greater economic growth in the long term. We hope to inspire the seasoned investor – men and women – to invest in women-led and managed businesses and also attract new investors that can actively participate and bring to bear tangible value to the success of New Zealand’s women-managed businesses and financial returns for members over time. ​
