Our History

2018 Southern Angels was founded in 2018 and is incorporated under the Associations Incorporation Act 1985 of South Australia and operates as a not-for-profit network of individual investors.
2019 Increased membership from 7 to 15, and invested close to $1 million into 7 South Australian startups - see our Portfolio (https://sthnangels.notion.site/Portfolio-60e5fd0af6ed4907875f549c517427b6)
2020 Despite COVID-19, we increased membership, continued to make investments into startups, and received funding from the Office of the South Australian Chief Entrepreneur to further activate angel investment in the State.
2021 Introduced an angel investor education series, commencing 9 June 2021 with https://www.eventbrite.com/e/angel-investor-workshop-tickets-149390714649 and created a diversity and inclusion program to improving our visibility among underrepresented investor groups.
2022 Added two new board members (Leila Henderson and Dr Peter Coldrey), and outperformed our growth targets significantly - see report Southern Angels FY22 Performance (https://sthnangels.notion.site/Southern-Angels-FY22-Performance-029967e396ad4383a72915730168bfad)
2023 Initiated a twice-yearly https://www.adelaide.edu.au/thinclab/programs-and-courses/thincangel-angel-investor-short-course in collaboration with the University of Adelaide to upskill investors participating in early-stage investment.
2024 Established the https://portal.gxe.com/v/spaces/eastend-ventures-southern-angels/join/now, in collaboration with Eastend Ventures, to facilitate a greater number of smaller cheques into more startups, under a single listing on a startup’s cap table.
