Launched in January 2016 by EBAN, Go Beyond Investing and Next Wave Foundation and now in its third edition, the Rising Tide Europe program is part of a global movement to increase women’s participation in angel investing as an asset class. It has been developed to provide an enriching learning-by-doing experience, including building an investment portfolio in startups, an education in investment processes and the development of a global angel community of successful businesswomen across Europe, Middle East, Africa and the USA.
Today over 200 women from more than 30 countries across 5 different continents have taken part in one or more Rising Tide Europe programmes, so far pooling over €3.5m and investing in 16 European early-stage companies.
