We’re a leader in the gender-smart investing space.
Lifted Ventures exists to increase the flow of early stage capital to female founders, and to promote the business benefits of backing women.

What we do
How we increase the flow of capital to female founders

01
We have a large and growing number of angel investor members who understand the business benefits of backing women-led enterprises. We welcome men who want to invest alongside us.
02
Our connections to venture capital organisations are significant. We build relationships with women and male allies in organisations that advocate for our investment opportunities. We host a large annual women in VC conference, Athena VC.
03
We provide high-quality, financial and investment literacy for female founders and women angel investors via Athena Labs, and the Lifted Academy.
04
Working alongside highly qualified, and relevant partners we are building a series of documents which demonstrate the highly investable qualities of diverse female founders.
05
As Co-Leaders of The Lifted Project with Zandra Moore MBE, we are building a data and ecosystem approach to increasing capital for high-growth female founders in UK regional cities.
