Super Angel Program 2026
Early capital shapes Europe by determining who gets to build, what gets built, and who owns the upside — and ownership at pre-seed compounds financially, structurally, and culturally. Evangelistas is building the ownership layer behind Europe’s next generation of companies by equipping experienced women angels with structured conviction, disciplined portfolio strategy, and stronger co-investment networks through Super Angel Program 2026. This 10-week deployment engine (March–May 2026) is designed to widen access at the earliest stage so more exceptional women shape Europe’s cap tables from day one. Featuring Roxanne Varza, Laura Modiano, Fritzi Reuter, Chanyu Xu and Evangelistas co-founder Julia Dous.
