Every week we think, surely the wins can’t top last week. And every week, brown girls prove us wrong. From tech to TV to early-stage investing, the headlines just keep getting bolder — and the future keeps getting browner.

🏆 This year’s Forbes 30 Under 30 US list is basically a Brown Girl highlight reel. South Asian Gen Z women are out here shaping healthcare, building AI, publishing media, stealing the spotlight - and casually rewriting every rule about who gets to lead.

At Brown Girl Angels, we’re not just cheering them on…we’re investing in women like them. We fund, amplify, and celebrate the brown girl founders turning ideas into industries.

If you’re a South Asian woman looking to make an impact on the next wave of brown girl founders, learn more about the BGA Collective here.

🙋🏾‍♀️ From first-time angel investors to seasoned venture capital investors, every woman in the BGA community brings a story, a skill set, and a reason she’s betting on other brown women.

We’re not just moving capital. We’re expanding access, shifting power, and rewriting who gets to fund and who gets funded.

If you’ve ever thought: 💭 “Investing wasn’t built with women who look like me in mind.” 💭 “How do I even start investing?” 💭 “How would my non-finance background add value?”

You’re in the right place.

✨ Learn more about BGA memberships, our mission, and how we’re empowering South Asian women to become investors.

A few of New York’s most enterprising female founders and funders will be gathering at Ladurée SoHo on December 16th, where chandeliers sparkle, macarons tower, and conversations promise to be as rich as the pastries.

Expect refined holiday tea, a selection of gifts crafted by female founders, and a room full of funders, builders, and brilliant women taking a well-earned pause before year-end.

Co-hosted by leaders from Stripe, SVB, Foley, Alumni Ventures… and of course, Brown Girl Angels.

Want an invite to this exclusive gathering? Request to join here. 🫖
