we back the top 1% of technical female talent at pre-seed
first cheques into all-female, all-technical founding teams.
Of global venture capital goes to all-female teams. In the US, that share has fallen to 1%.
the evidence
the data is unambiguous, and the market has not caught up.
-
Female-founded startups generate 78p revenue per £1 invested, versus 31p for male-founded.
BCG, 2018 -
Female-founded startups reach exit faster.
PitchBook, 2023 - 15%
less capital burned per month.
Inc, 2025
and yet
All-female teams submit a fraction of the decks, and receive a smaller fraction still of the investment.
The gap between how these teams perform and how they are funded is the opportunity.
