Angel Investing & Why It
Belongs In Your Wealth Strategy

A collaborative platform
built to get women writing checks.

Women on the Cap Table (WCT) was founded three months ago by Karen Robinson and Jane McCracken — built on a simple thesis: more women need to be at the table as investors, not just founders. WCT provides education, curated deal flow, and a collaborative investing community for women looking to add angel investing to their portfolios.

Their mission: make angel investing more accessible, more diverse, and more impactful — starting in the Southeast.

Panel discussion — investors and advisors on stage

Women investors.
Better outcomes.

The case for women in angel investing isn't just equity — it's returns. The data shows women investors outperform statistically, they back diverse founders at higher rates, and they ask different questions in due diligence. WCT is building the infrastructure to accelerate all of that.

• 01
  67% of women investors plan to write $25K–$49K checks this year. The capital is there. WCT is building the structure to deploy it intentionally.
• 02
  Female investors are nearly 2× as likely to back female founders compared to their male counterparts — and nearly half of WCT-reviewed companies had at least one female founder.
• 03
  Women investors show statistically better returns. Diversified perspectives reduce homophily bias — the tendency to back people who look like you — which drives better portfolio outcomes.
• 04
  Angel investing is a team sport. WCT's SPV model means members can start at $1K — pooling capital, sharing diligence, and leveraging the group's collective expertise and networks.

Panel Q&A — investor perspectives

What the experts
actually said.

The panel was direct and practical — this wasn't a pitch for angel investing, it was an honest breakdown of how it works, what to expect, and what separates good investors from bad ones.

VIVA Finance —
what a real angel deal looks like.

The evening closed with a live case study featuring VIVA Finance — founded in 2019 by brothers Jack and Hodges Martin-Walters. VIVA offers personal loans based on employment data rather than credit scores, with payroll direct deposit repayment. Early investor Bill Reet invested on a clear thesis: steady employees with damaged credit represent an enormous, underserved market.
