About Andy Ayim
I am a father, husband, creator, thinker, investor and founder of Ayim Limited and Angel Investing School.
In today’s fast-paced world, many leaders and entrepreneurs feel pressured to conform, which stifles their true potential. I help them break free from these constraints by embracing authenticity, allowing them to lead with greater confidence, creativity, and impact. Through my speaking, writing, and coaching, I provide the tools and insights needed to transform both personal and professional lives by tapping into who they truly are.

How can leaders develop their people if they are unaware of their development gaps and goals? As a trusted advisor, I am passionate about creating experiences for leaders to gain self-awareness so that they can develop people from all backgrounds to unlock their potential.
How I collaborate with leaders to create pathways to opportunities
In 2018, Andy joined Arlan Hamilton at Backstage Capital to raise over $2m to invest in underrepresented founders. Backstage Accelerator was launched in Detroit, Philadelphia, L.A. and in London to support over 25 diverse-led startups.
In 2020, Andy launched the Angel Investing School, where he trained over 600+ new angel investors and created Open Angel, taking the best of what was learned and making it freely accessible for anyone to get started with learning about angel investment.
In 2023, Andy joined Sam Akinluyi on a mission to create pathways for young people to kick-start their careers in the FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods) industry through Psalt. Alongside this, they have collaborated on influencing leadership teams to create environments where anyone from any background can bring their difference and succeed.
