More specifically, CSA is a network that attempts to bring together [investors and entrepreneurs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foundity) in a way to go from ideas to emerging businesses to entities with a strong base and thus significant capabilities in terms of its social and environmental missions. If you become a part of the CSA network itself, the opportunities included: deal flow, angel training, access to events, help from the ClearlySo volunteers, among others. According to Suzanne Biegel, who recently [wrote a piece on female social finance](http://www.pioneerspost.com/news/20130308/there-female-perspective-on-social-finance), the network is about half women and those that approach the network are also approximately half women. CSA is partnered with Field Fisher Waterhouse, which is a law firm in Europe that it itself supports entrepreneurship through legal means. **Contact Information** Clearly Social Angels [website](http://www.clearlyso.com/investors/CSA.html) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Social Business:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the creation of entities with strong capabilities in social and environmental missions. - **Angel Investing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the training and networking offerings for angel investors. - **Gender Diversity:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in encouraging and supporting female entrepreneurship and investment. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Legal Services:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in supporting entrepreneurship through legal means. - **Social Impact:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating businesses that aim to have a positive social and environmental impact. - **Finance:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the field of angel investing and social finance. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Startup Networking Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/global-startup-ecosystem.md) - [AI-Powered Fundraising Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/socapai.md) - [Startup Investor Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/findinvestor.md) - [Responsible Investment Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/responsible-investment-platform.md) - [Founder Networking Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-startup-club.md) - [AI Angel Investors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-cap.md) - [Economically Focused Vegan Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-platform.md) - [Network-Connecting AI Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/village-ai.md) - [Activism-Fostering Investment Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/investment-platforms.md)
