Our story
DigitsUp is a female-forward initiative building open infrastructure for angel investing in Europe.
We make access to early-stage investing more practical, inclusive, and accessible for everyone who wants to participate — mobilising more capital, network, and know-how into innovation, and helping close the gender investment gap by backing more female-led and diverse teams.
Why now
Europe needs more people participating in innovation. Not only as founders, operators, or employees, but also as early supporters and investors.
At the same time, angel investing still feels inaccessible to many: too risky, too technical, too complex, or simply “not for people like me.” This means that a lot of capital, expertise, and network stays on the sidelines.
The gap is even bigger for female-led and diverse teams, who continue to receive only 2% of venture funding. DigitsUp exists to change that: by making angel investing more understandable, practical, and inclusive — and by helping more people use their capital, knowledge, and network to support the next generation of startups.
Who it's for
For professionals from tech and corporate. Learn how angel investing works, build confidence around early-stage investing, and connect with a community of future angels, founders, and active investors.
As part of the DigitsUp community, you'll get access to selected startup insights and dealflow, and priority access to learn more and apply once the DigitsUp Investment Club launches.
Offer your teams a unique learning experience at the intersection of financial education, innovation, startup investing, and inclusive capital.
DigitsUp brings angel investing into a practical format through expert-led sessions, live startup cases, and hands-on discussions. This fits as an L&D format, employee engagement initiative, leadership learning experience, or impactful ESG initiative.
Momentum
Our previous formats have shown strong demand from professionals who want to learn how early-stage investing works in practice — and how they can use their capital, network, and know-how to support the next generation of startups and shape innovation.

As seen in
In contrast to classic pitch formats, practice is at the centre here: participants analyse startups as a team, work with realistic cap tables, and make joint investment decisions. The interactive approach aims to make knowledge tangible and lower barriers to entry.
The response shows: formats like this can not only build understanding, but also spark concrete curiosity — particularly among women who have so far had little contact with angel investing.
