ABOUT US

Blak Angels Investment Network (Blak Angels) is a national initiative uniting First Nations angel investors committed to building intergenerational wealth, fostering innovation, and supporting early-stage ventures.

We provide a culturally safe and strategic entry point into angel investing for First Nations people, business leaders, and professionals. Our mission is to grow economic self-determination, increase representation in Australia’s investment ecosystem, and amplify First Nations voices in shaping our future.

Blak Angels is focused on increasing First Nations participation in early-stage investment by building investor capability, strengthening peer networks, and facilitating greater connectivity to innovative and high-growth ventures.

We aim to place First Nations capital on the cap tables of early-stage ventures that align with our values, including those driving positive impact for Community, Culture, and Country.

By broadening capital flows, Blak Angels is helping to create a more inclusive and equitable investment ecosystem for generations to come.
