LAN exists because women entrepreneurs in Ghana and across Africa still face a persistent financing gap - and because women investors are uniquely positioned to close it through capital, networks, and patient mentorship.
Real relationships make disciplined capital possible.
Women understand the challenges women entrepreneurs face - in access to finance, markets, and growth capital.
Women can nurture, connect, and invest in the next generation of women business leaders.
Women can build peer networks that convert informal support into structured, accountable investment.
Women can create investment opportunities for themselves while strengthening the ventures they back.
Women can invest for financial return and measurable social impact - gender-lens investing is not charity.
Professional women started identifying and supporting young women entrepreneurs through advice, introductions, and early business guidance.
The network formalised its structure to organise membership, founder support, and capital deployment around a clearer investment model.
LAN operates as a private member network connected to Ghana's wider angel investing infrastructure, with a focus on women-owned and women-led ventures.
LAN prioritises aligned members who can contribute capital, expertise, diligence, mentorship, and long-term founder support.
Founders move through preparation, review, and investment conversations before members decide whether to invest individually or in syndication.
The network is built for more than cheques: members support governance, market access, reporting discipline, and founder confidence.
LAN operates within a national ecosystem designed to grow early-stage financing. The Ghana Angel Investor Network (GAIN), launched in 2011 by the Venture Capital Trust Fund and now hosted by Impact Investing Ghana, serves as the apex body for angel networks in the country.
As a GAIN member network alongside the Accra Angels Network, LAN benefits from shared diligence tools, screened deal flow, and connections to the Africa Business Angels Network (ABAN). This positions founders and investors within a continental community, not an isolated club.
The network's secretariat is supported through Savannah Impact Advisory in East Legon, Accra - connecting LAN to broader fund structuring, policy, and impact investing expertise across West Africa.
