How do you create a fully booked Angel investing and networking event? I don’t know 🤷🏽♀️ but Marla Shapiro and her team at HERMESA do. Last night’s bring a friend pitch event was brilliant! Thank you to everyone who made it happen. It feels good to be re-emerging to the world of connecting, supporting female founders and maybe even getting my cheque book out. In case you’re wondering what is it about this event that made it so special, well there is a sense of magic ✨ wherever HERmesa and Marla are present. The way they do things makes those involved feel included, safe, connected and supported. In addition we benefitted from: ⭐️ being reminded of the amazing work HERmesa is doing - some sad stats about female Angel investing and how HERmesa is changing the landscape ⭐️ hearing and learning from experienced angels: Deborah Gruenberger and Machela Sathekga about their investment journeys ⭐️ a cracking pitch by impressive Molly Johnson-Jones at Flexa ⭐️ the most welcoming and inclusive networking with inspirational women (sorry men, I didn’t get a chance to speak with you 😉). ⭐️ energising conversations and connections with investors and founders. I’m so looking forward to keeping these going! ⭐️ yummy refreshments too! If you’ve been considering Angel investing but don’t know where to start - check out HERMESA. If you haven’t been considering Angel investing - check out HERmesa anyway 😊 #angelinvesting #femalefounders #femaleinvesting #empoweringwomen

Let's go Karen Frame from Makeena and Breen Sullivan from The Fourth Floor (Soon to be The Fourth Effect) who are only 2 on the list and incredibly talented with the innovation and communities they are building. 🙌🏼 #femalefounders #Investors #venturecapital #vcfunds #womensleadership

Lifted Ventures introduced #NoMoreTalking in Leeds earlier this year, igniting a movement to propel female founders forward. Their third stop in the roadshow? …Manchester. Their roadshow aims to turn talking into action when it comes to backing female founders. Despite receiving less than half of the investment capital of their male peers, female-founded companies deliver twice as much revenue per pound invested. Join me and Lifted Ventures on June 28th, 2024, as we transform dialogue into tangible action. By participating, you'll become part of a dynamic community committed to driving meaningful change. By supporting diverse founders with the right pathways of support, we need to collaborate and ignite the power of the community as this is the only way to accelerate change, especially in economic headwinds. At this event, they'll delve into the proven business benefits and enhanced economic returns associated with supporting female-founded enterprises. Whether you're an Investment Manager, Director, Angel Investor, or a key stakeholder in the investment and ecosystem space, this event is a must-attend. If you're passionate about effecting lasting change in the female founder space, secure your spot now. - https://lnkd.in/dnnFXGuV 5317 Let's shape the future together. #NoreMoreTalking #LiftedVentures #FemaleFounders

The world of venture capital has traditionally been considered a men's world, but times are changing and so is the business landscape. As startups pivot to co-creating products with customers, building communities, and making a positive impact - traits that are natural to women - female founded startups are in high demand. At Bravva, we want to create an environment where women, on both sides of the table, not only feel safe but also thrive together. 💡 The traditional 5-minute pitch model, has inadvertently created an environment where male founders thrive, leaving women founders feeling insecure and often underpromising on their future results. 💡 Creating a supportive and empowering context for women founders opens doors to opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed, breaking down barriers and paving the way for collaborative success. 💡 Our experience so far shows that women business angels go beyond the traditional role. They become mentors, offering specific help even before making an investment. Pitching to women angels becomes an educational session, with valuable resources provided. Investing as an angel and building a startup portfolio isn't just about financial gain; it's a powerful way for women in business to give back and add their financial expertise to the game. Risk is effectively managed through portfolio diversification, clear criteria for selection, and solid business experience. It's time to rewrite the rules of the VC game!

Pleased to note that PitchBook to-day has reported ‘ Deals for European female founders grew at twice the rate of all-male teams.’ ‘Funding for European female founders showed resilience in a down year, according to the latest All In: Female Founders in the VC Ecosystem report sponsored by UBS, Shoosmiths and Enterprise Ireland. Female founders captured 25.8% of deal count and 20.5% of deal value in 2023—both records, although investment fell in absolute terms.’ ‘Deals for European female-founded companies grew more than twice as fast as deals for all-male-founded teams over the past decade.’ We look forward to seeing more entries for this year’s Enterprise Awards for the ‘Female Entrepreneur’ category! Entries are now open! https://linkd.in/eVp9mA9u
