Today we release our Annual Report 2024.
As we reflect on our inaugural year, we are overwhelmed with pride and gratitude for the community we’ve built together. When we launched Lifted Ventures, we had a bold vision: to make the UK regions a beacon for gender-smart investment by creating a space where female founders and women angel investors can thrive.
Thanks to your unwavering support and the backing of incredible partners like the British Business Bank, we’ve been able to take significant strides toward achieving this vision. Together, we’ve created more than just a platform for investment—we’ve built a community that uplifts, inspires, and empowers women.
Here are some highlights from our journey so far:
- Facilitating over £4.5 million in investments for female-led businesses.
- Building angel syndicates, including one exclusively for women backing women.
- Mentoring and training hundreds of founders.
- Hosting events that brought together trailblazing women and allies from across the country.
This is only the beginning. As we look ahead to 2025, we’re excited to build on this momentum. Our plans include launching new education initiatives, increasing the flow of smart capital, expanding our networks, and continuing to nurture this incredible community of innovators and changemakers.
Thank you for being an integral part of our journey. Together, we’re shaping a brighter future for gender-smart investment.
