Backbone is a collective of active angel investors. We came together to invest in women and non-binary founders with a focus on investments in Black, Indigenous, and Women of Colour-led companies. Being witness to the power of entrepreneurship, Backbone believes there is space for many founders to succeed but that access to the resources it takes to succeed are not equitably distributed. They want to change that. Founders in the Backbone portfolio will have access to expertise in product, data UX, marketing, talent, legal, operations, and strategy. With an investment from Backbone, founders gain access to the strength of the collective.
