WOMENA is a UAE-based angel group that empowers women to make their own investments in a supportive network. Our members are proactive women who want to impact their community and be involved in economic growth. Members attend meetings where pre-screened entrepreneurs present their businesses for funding, after which WOMENA facilitates the entire investment process from deal source to deal close while educating members with individual and group coaching.
