Clearly Social Angels

Clearly Social Angels (CSA) is the dedicated angel network arm of ClearlySo, a leading impact investment bank based in London, United Kingdom. Established as the first of its kind, CSA focuses on connecting angel investors with businesses that demonstrate a clear commitment to generating positive social and/or environmental impact alongside financial returns. The network plays a crucial role in the UK's burgeoning impact investing ecosystem, bridging the gap between early-stage impact ventures and private capital.

ClearlySo as a whole has a significant track record in facilitating capital for mission-driven enterprises. By 2020, the broader ClearlySo platform had successfully helped over 160 impact businesses raise more than £200 million in capital, demonstrating their extensive reach and effectiveness in the sector. Their focus spans a wide array of impact areas, including education, healthcare, sustainable living, and community development, always seeking ventures with strong growth potential and measurable social or environmental outcomes.

CSA specifically facilitates individual angel investments into these impact-focused companies. While the total funding rounds they support can vary significantly, individual angel investments through their network typically range from £25,000 to £500,000. This range allows for diverse participation from angels and supports early to growth-stage impact ventures across various sectors.

The network provides a structured and curated environment for angels to identify, evaluate, and invest in mission-driven companies. By fostering a community of like-minded investors, Clearly Social Angels aims to drive both financial returns and measurable social change, contributing significantly to the growth of the impact economy.
