- Why should VCs be more interested in female-led startups
UK Govt: Women-led startups receive only 2% of total VC investment in the UK, yet generate twice the revenue per ยฃ invested! Why should VCs be more interested in female-led startups: โฆ 35% higher ROI Women-led startups deliver 35% higher ROI than male-led ones, despite receiving far less funding. In the UK, they generate nearly double the revenue per ยฃ invested. Reports from the US (BCG, 2018) and EU Zone showed quasi-identical results. โฆ Access to Untapped Markets Female founders often tackle underserved markets, especially those influencing the majority of global purchasing decisions - women. โฆ Economic Potential Closing the gender entrepreneurship gap could add $5โ6 trillion to the global economy and lift GDP by 20%+. โฆ Positive Social Impact Female founders reinvest heavily in communities, driving improvements in education, infrastructure, and social equityโbenefiting both investors and society. โ THE STRUCTURAL PROBLEM โ โฆ Network & Mentorship Gaps With only 11% of VC partners being women, female founders have less access to the elite networks that drive deal flow and mentorship. In the US, 92% of VC partners are men. Many struggle to assess female-focused markets like childcare or beauty, undervaluing high-potential ideas. Most VCs share similar educational and professional backgrounds. Without diversity at the table, deal flow mirrors the status quo. โฆ Biased Questioning during Pitches Research shows male founders are asked about growth; women are asked about risk and their technical skills. Investors often assume the male cofounder knows the tech and direct technical questions to him. Women are more likely to accept negative investor feedback without pushback, while men more often challenge it, shaping perceptions of confidence and leadership (BCG, 2018). โฆ Pitch Style Differences Men tend to overpitch and oversell. Women are more conservative, often requesting smaller amountsโeven when the opportunity is just as big. โฆ Role Model Deficit With so few women in VC leadership, aspiring female investors and founders lack visible examples to follow.

Most transport systems werenโt built with rural communities in mind. People living in remote and regional areas are often left navigating infrastructure that doesnโt serve their daily realities. While urban mobility has advanced rapidly with things like ride-sharing, micro-mobility and EV networks expanding, rural transport remains fragmented, underfunded, and outdated. For millions, reliable transport isnโt a convenience, itโs a barrier to education, employment, healthcare and social connection. This isnโt just a policy issue. ๐ Itโs an overlooked market with real demand. ๐ Itโs a sustainability challenge with environmental and economic stakes. ๐ It might just be your next big move as a founder, builder or investor. ๐ก Letโs build better, together. Here are a few questions to get your brain buzzing: What are the biggest pain points rural users face with current mobility options? Could flexible, community-led transport models create both access and economic resilience? How might we co-design systems with rural users rather than for them? Can EVs and sustainable fuel solutions be viable where infrastructure is limited? How do we design platforms for areas with poor connectivity and digital exclusion? Could AI or data-driven scheduling make rural services more efficient and adaptive? Is there a path to profitable innovation or do we need new publicโprivate models? Should startups focus on commuters, healthcare access or local logistics first? How would you pitch a rural mobility solution to investors focused on urban scale? Your Turn: This is your opportunity to reimagine mobility for underserved communities. Drop your thoughts in the comments, tag someone building in transport or climate tech, or sketch a solution and share it.- GreenTech Startups, Investors & Professionals Networking Event - London
