About Andy Ayim MBE
I am a father, husband, creator, thinker, investor and founder of Ayim Limited and Angel Investing School.
I love to teach, inspire and guide people by facilitating dialogue (not about slides and scripts) to equip people to lead with authenticity, emotional intelligence, and purpose.
How people feel impacts how they perform, inclusive leadership drives the retention of top talent and impacts the bottom line.

How can leaders develop their people if they fear opening up, being vulnerable and speaking about how they feel.Â
I help leaders develop the ability to see, hear, and treat their people how they like to be treated. This creates a space for mutual learning, better performance and a culture rooted on people feeling they truly belong.
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.Â
