Why WIN?

Female presence is low in venture investment in Europe, particularly in senior positions. We want to have more women writing checks and becoming successful investors.

Invest in women. The proportion of funding attracted by female-led startups is considerably lower than their share in the ecosystem, partially due to low female presence on the investment side, which might contribute to conscious or unconscious biases.

A more gender-balanced ecosystem makes more diverse and more efficient investments and innovation decisions.

In this context, WIN aims at: 

  • Increasing female presence and their role as investors in Europe (help invest successfully, develop professionally and progress to senior positions).
  • Connecting female investors, female founder funds and female-led startups to explore female investments opportunities.
