What the data says about gender, startups and investment:

• Female‑founded startups get a tiny slice of funding – just 1–2 % of global venture capital, despite making up far more of the founder pool.
• In the UK, women-led startups made up only 8 % of deals in 2023 and 2.8 % of total investment – a huge gap and a big opportunity.
• Women make up just 14 % of the total number of angel investors in the UK, yet they’re backing more female founders than the average investor.
• Female-led startups punch above their weight, delivering around 35 % higher returns per pound invested than male-led teams.

Whether you’re thinking about your first investment or you want to make smarter choices about opportunities, especially supporting under-represented founders, this free session is for you.
