Right now, women entrepreneurs face an uphill battle for funding. All sorts of ambitious women founders, growing all sorts of incredible businesses, just don’t have the know-how, connections and as a result confidence to secure the investment their businesses need, and deserve. They face more barriers, get more knock-backs and have to push much harder than most men in the same position. And while change is slowly happening, women with the potential to invest in those businesses often aren’t welcomed into the investment world. Investor networks are largely closed off, knowledge isn’t shared and too many women who could make a phenomenal difference are left feeling investment isn’t for them. As shared in the Oliver Wyman Women in Financial Services, 2020 Report , “Women are arguably the largest underserved group of customers in Financial Services, leaving an estimated £700bn in additional annual revenue on the table per year.” That's why we're building the U.K.'s first FCA-regulated platform created to close the gender investment gap at scale.
