female founders
Award-winning business support from a female-founded team
we know what it takes to grow and scale female-led enterprises.
Raising investment can be challenging for women. Globally, women have access to less than 2% of total venture capital investment. Only 8% of senior investment positions are held by women meaning that female founders find themselves pitching exclusively to men.
This can be problematic, especially when the business, products and services are aimed at the female market.
Working on both sides of the Atlantic with mid-market and large investors, we have the unique expertise to accelerate female founders, increase their growth and exit returns.
our founder & menopause coach, Fiona mckay and team of female growth & value creation consultants specialise in accelerating female-founders.
Using our findings from our research we help female founders understand the role that gender bias plays in the pitch process and funding rounds. Utilising our FeedbackFirst™ method, we unlock opportunities for women to secure the capital they need to succeed at speed.
