TBH Angels announced a new brand identity and unveiled its 2026 programming as the organization expands its mission to support early-stage women founders and educate a new generation of angel investors.
Previously known as ATL TrailblazHER Angels, the organization said the rebrand reflects an evolution of its focus on increasing access to capital, community, and opportunity for women entrepreneurs and underrepresented founders. Based in Atlanta with plans for broader national growth, TBH Angels is building a network of accredited investors, founders, and advocates focused on reshaping early-stage investing.
The organization highlighted ongoing disparities in venture funding, noting that female founders continue to miss out on 97% of venture capital opportunities, Black women founders receive only 0.27% of venture funding, and female-founded companies generated 35% higher return on investment than male-led companies last year.
TBH Angels said it was founded to address what it describes as a “double-sided funding gap” by creating organized access to both capital for underserved founders and investment opportunities for women investors.
The organization introduced two membership pathways tailored to different levels of angel investing experience. Its Core Membership is aimed at accredited investors and includes annual dues of $1,000 alongside a minimum investment commitment of $10,000 annually for two years. Members receive access to curated founder investment opportunities, founder pitch days, investor programming, and networking events.
TBH Angels also launched a Collective Membership tier designed as an educational and community-focused option. The membership carries annual dues of $500 with no investment commitment requirement and provides access to community events and opportunities to transition into Core Membership in the future.
The organization’s 2026 programming will include events such as WEI Graduation on June 9, Atlanta Tech Week on August 9, and the inaugural TBH Angels pitch day scheduled for September 29. Founder applications and additional event details are expected to be released later this summer.
Jen Bonnett, founding board member and former Vice President of Technology and Entrepreneurship at Invest Atlanta, emphasized the need for more investment support for women-led startups.
