Yesterday, our co-founder Jordan headed to London to give evidence to the House of CommonsDepartment for Business and Trade‘s Business and Trade Committee and the Rt Hon Liam Byrne MP on a topic that matters…
Access to capital for female founders
We were proud to share this moment with Debbie Waskow, Sonia Kumar MP, and Debra McDonald.
Jordan highlighted the barriers women-led businesses still face, including limited networks, mentorship, “warm” introductions, and the gender imbalance in venture capital decision-making.
She also shared her optimism: New funds, initiatives and public programmes that are helping to narrow the gap. More of this please!
Women-led businesses are a huge, untapped engine of growth, innovation and social impact and we’re hopeful that our input into the Committee’s work will help shape policies that genuinely support female entrepreneurs.
