Did you know that female founders received just 2.7% of all venture capital investment in 2019? Being higher than ever before, that was billed as a win. In 2020 the percentage of venture capital invested in women fell back to pre-2017 levels. Diversity might be a hot topic, but the numbers tell a much bleaker story.
Our mission is to change that. We believe that supporting female founders has a profound positive impact on global health and global economies. With a strong track record of stimulating investment into health and life sciences companies, we are putting our expertise towards improving investment, mentorship and business partnerships for women in these sectors.
Our values are what we live by: supporting each other, encouraging diverse points of view, and having an open dialogue.
Knowledge-exchange
We facilitate open, honest dialogue between women in health and life sciences to help grow female-led businesses, as well as to support individual career progression.
Serving unmet medical needs
Female-led businesses don’t just solve “women’s problems” but they certainly help. We are committed to driving investment into companies solving women’s health challenges and serving unmet medical needs.
Diversity and inclusion
We believe that diversity drives innovation. We welcome women from all cultures and backgrounds and encourage diverse points of view and experience to solve some of the world’s biggest health challenges.
Member-led
The needs of our members are integral to the strategic direction of Female Founders. We are committed to seeking regular feedback from our members to contribute actively to the development of the network.
