We are thrilled to see the new Invest In Women Taskforce which has been created to make the UK the best place in the world to be a female entrepreneur.
If women were to start and scale businesses at the same rate as men, that would mean a potential £250bn boost to the UK economy.
Currently, there’s a structural under-representation of female investors and female founders:
- Just 11% of VC committee members being women
- Only 2% of equity capital going to female-founded businesses
The Invest in Women Taskforce is determined to address the disparity, drive sustainable change and support women at all stages of business growth.
As a female entrepreneur and business founder our CEO, Rebecca Harding, believes passionately in what they are aiming to achieve.
