Maleeka Angels

Maleeka Angels is a network of female creators, operators and executives that invest in female founded start-ups and small businesses with long-term growth potential in Northern Nigeria.
From the outset, we aim to inspire change and reduce gender inequality by showing the world female founders tackling systematic problems and creating long lasting disruptive solutions. We believe there is a massive talent turnover of women across Northern Nigeria with female entrepreneurs creating innovative online and offline models responding to critical products and service needs. Albeit the large market opportunities boasting of high growth rates, there is still scarce access to capital and support to female founders and entrepreneurs in Nigeria when compared to the rest of the world.

We are Arewa’s first female-only angel network in Nigeria.

We are on a mission to educate a new generation of angels, by providing them with access to investment opportunities with better returns while simultaneously enabling them to create impact in sectors that mean the most to them. We are making angel investing accessible and give women the confidence to invest, by educating them on the investment process and how other women before them invest. We provide the opportunity to inspire this change and reduce gender inequality by sharing a pipeline of high growth, high impact female founded businesses.
