A new fintech platform is shaking-up angel investing in the UK by aiming to address the current gender gap. The Obu Angel Investment Platform launched this week, connecting eligible angels with female-founded businesses. 

The Obu Angel Investment Platform is open to all eligible investors who support its mission to close the gender investment gap. It will focus on female-founded businesses in the fintech, edtech, femtech, AI, food and drink, health and beauty sectors, who are seeking up to £250,000 via the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS).
