What does this mean?
“To support not one but two incredible female founders on their fundraising journey is a great privilege. It’s so rewarding to see these truly disruptive businesses secure investment from angels,” said co-founder Sarah King. “The closing of these rounds and knowing it’ll support the next stage of growth for these businesses demonstrates the genuine ability of angel investors to shape the types of problems that get solved in the world — proving that more diverse angels really does mean more diverse innovation.”
