About
Pipeline Angels is a network of women and non-binary investors redefining angel investing by providing capital, particularly friends-and-family round funding, to underrepresented founders including trans women, cis women, agender, gender non-conforming, non-binary, and two-spirit entrepreneurs. Originally launched in April 2011 by Natalia Oberti Noguera as founder and CEO, it offered an angel investing bootcamp, graduating over 200 members who invested more than $4 million in over 40 companies through pitch summits. In July 2023, Pipeline Angels was acquired by the nonprofit Institute for Entrepreneurial Leadership (IFEL) and now operates as a program of IFEL. It has expanded to multiple cities and focuses on socially conscious investing in for-profit social ventures led by underrepresented founders.
