Funding Focus aims to blaze an enduring path for female and diverse founders and address the uneven playing field that women and diverse entrepreneurs receive from venture capital. The inaugural conference took place on 25 November 2019 at London Stock Exchange and brought together successful female entrepreneurs who have raised funding, enterprising minds, investment gurus and sector experts. Venture capital investment in start-ups with female founders is increasing but progress is very slow. At current rates, it will take 25 years (2045) for all-female teams to reach even 10% of all deals. We want to change this. By radically transforming the flow of funding for female-founded businesses, we can unleash a whole new stream of entrepreneurial activity to boost the UK’s economy.
