Mo Angels

Mo Angels is a syndicated angel investment group based in Mauritius, established in 2021. The organization was founded to address the funding gap for early-stage startups in Mauritius and Africa, fostering a community of investors and entrepreneurs. The idea for Mo Angels originated during discussions at the African Angel Academy in 2019, where co-founders recognized the need for a structured approach to angel investing in the region. Mo Angels primarily invests in early-stage startups that have progressed beyond the initial funding from friends and family, focusing on companies that may have little or no revenue but have received grants or funds and have a proof of concept in place. Investments typically range from USD 20,000 to USD 200,000, targeting emerging geographies in Mauritius, the Indian Ocean Islands, and Africa.

Mo Angels emphasizes the importance of ensuring that companies are investment-ready and provides support through mentorship and access to networks, helping startups navigate the challenges of early-stage growth.
