Invest in Women Taskforce

Last week, Lisa Fox, Head of Co-Investment at Guinness Ventures, attended the Invest in Women Taskforce roundtable at Tramshed Tech in Cardiff. She joined an incredible group of leaders championing solutions to close the funding gap for female founders.

- Purely female-led businesses currently receive just 2% of UK venture capital, with only a further 9% going to mixed teams

The Taskforce has already raised over £250m to support female founders

At Guinness Ventures, we are delighted that 3 of our new investments are led by women.

Thanks to Louise Harris, Tramshed Tech, Debbie Wosskow, OBE, and Hannah Bernard OBE.
