About

Flávia and Érica met in 2021, during an online meeting for angel investors. The two soon discovered that they had many affinities and also a common discomfort: the lack of representation and diversity in the world of angel investing. The environments of both startups and investors were dominated by white men.

One cause could be because only 13% of angel investors were women according to data from the Brazilian angel survey.

And with this realization came the idea:

“Why don't we create an angel investment group just for women?”

This is how Sororitê was born. At first, they created a group on WhatsApp and promoted virtual meetings with other investors. The group grew quickly, organically. One participant went, liked it and invited another.

It went from virtual to real and today Sororitê has a physical headquarter in São Paulo, has a team of supporters, holds face-to-face meetings, monthly talks and events for networking and knowledge exchange. It is a safe space of empathy and acceptance. It has become a very powerful network with more than 100 angel investors and hundreds of startups, founded by women, evaluated.

Jaana joined Flávia and Erica, in 2022. They are founding partners of the largest investors community in Latin America whose main objective is to fight gender disparities in their environment.

WIT Angels Club

Women have less investment knowledge and are less confident about investing than men. We are team of committed women convinced that it’s the time to change this statement. Women have to be part of the technology revolution which takes place right under their nose. Tech with Purpose, where impact is at the core of the business model, is our Club’s investment thesis. The current growth-at-all-costs Unicorn model doesn’t fit the reality anymore. Instead, we are looking for the Camel model, as they show valuable lessons on how to survive through crisis, and to sustain and grow in adverse conditions. If your solution tackles essential problems that human beings face, we are a match.
