Female founders
One third of women cite access to funding as the biggest barrier to starting a business, with a similar number citing this as a barrier to scaling an existing business (Rose Review of Female Entrepreneurship, HM Treasury 2019).
In line with these issues, the VC Matchmaking initiative will look to address inclusion in the next masterclass which will be extended to include a short networking opportunity.
The second of our inclusion sessions will be targeted at female founders and entrepreneurs, maximising funding opportunities. In our interactive session we are delighted to welcome VCs and women in prominent leadership positions.
The aim of the Venture Capital Matchmaking initiative is to facilitate more connections between the best young European companies, those seeking the capital needed to internationalise their businesses, and the rich network of funders across the UK.
