women* globally report that they don't fully understand investing
of all angel investors are women*
of all venture capital funding goes to start-ups with a female founder
is the estimated size of the femtech market
Angel investing can seem quite scary when you are new to it. Large ticket sizes, "exclusive" networks, high risk and a lot of jargon often puts women* off investing in start-up ventures.
Female founded start-ups are often seen as high-risk and face greater challenges than their (male) peers to access the capital needed to grow their businesses.
With too many cocks - oops we mean cooks- in the VC kitchen, femtech start-ups are often undervalued and underinvested in, despite the many unmet needs of almost 3.5 billion women* globally.
At HerShare we believe that getting more women into angel investing could just be the key to closing the gender gap, with female founders and the femtech industry the right channel to make these changes.
