Women-owned businesses in Ghana and across Africa continue to receive a disproportionately small share of venture and angel capital — despite strong evidence that gender-diverse founding teams build resilient, high-performing companies.
LAN addresses this gap not through grants alone, but through structured angel investment: personal capital, peer governance, founder bootcamps, and ongoing mentorship. Members invest for return while advancing a gender-lens thesis aligned with Impact Investing Ghana and the Global Steering Group for Impact Investing.
As a member of the Ghana Angel Investor Network, LAN contributes to a national effort to formalise angel investing — moving capital from informal circles into documented, accountable investment architecture.
Directing angel capital to women founders who are often overlooked by traditional financiers — converting informal support networks into structured, term-sheet-backed investment.
Developing a pipeline of women angel investors in Ghana — professionals who learn diligence, governance, and portfolio management through peer networks and GAIN resources.
Preparing women entrepreneurs for institutional conversations through bootcamps, one-month engagement sessions, and mentorship — so capital meets preparation, not just ambition.
Contributing to Ghana's angel investing infrastructure alongside GAIN, Impact Investing Ghana, and ABAN — sharing tools, deal flow, and lessons across networks.
Creating transparent, governed pathways for diaspora women professionals to invest in Ghanaian ventures — with the documentation and accountability international investors expect.
Supporting women-led ventures across agriculture, fintech, health, education, consumer markets, and technology — wherever scalable, impact-oriented businesses are emerging.
LAN is a growing network — not a closed fund. Our ambitions reflect the scale of the opportunity: more women investing, more founders funded, and a stronger early-stage ecosystem in Ghana.
Expanding a community of professional women who commit capital and mentorship within structured two-year cycles.
Running periodic selection cycles — from application through bootcamp to pitch — for women-led ventures across sectors.
Individual tickets and syndicated rounds through LAN and GAIN, using convertible, equity, and debt instruments.
