Advancing Women in VC

Empowering European Women in Venture Capital

European Women In VC fosters diversity and innovation through strategic collaborations, diverse funding opportunities, and continuous knowledge sharing, empowering female-led funds across Europe.
1
Primary focus on venture capital

European Women In VC places a primary focus on Venture Capital right from its inception. It has been a bottom up initiative by 16 female GPs from different EU countries.

2
Funds of varying size and scope

We welcome funds of varying sizes and scopes, including micro funds and those managed by emerging leaders in the field. (Our members are from solo GPs and nano funds of EUR 20m in size to growth funds with AUM of over EUR 1 billion, usually on funds 1 to 3).

3
Weekly Meet the LP calls

The core mission is to disrupt the status quo by fostering asset allocation to female (co)led funds and building LP/GP relationships, so that women can fundraise faster and from a larger LP base - via weekly meet the LP meeting online. (already held over 50 such meetings)

4
Connecting women from different parts of Europe

Our organization is genuinely pan-European and centralized, embodying the values of free human capital and ideas flow. We excel in connecting women from diverse parts of Europe, fostering synergies, and promoting diversity on both cross-cultural and regional levels. Every month via LUNCH & LEARN online sessions we share concrete experiences eg. How to do a First Close in todays market or How to build a CVC career.

5
European Institutions

We proudly collaborate with esteemed European Institutions such as EIF, EIB, EIT, receive support from two European commissioners, and collaborate with several public fund of funds (eg. Tesi, Bpifrance, EIFO. PFR Ventures) - engaging in high level policy dialogue.

6
A Wealth of Expertise: Uniting Ecosystems from Venture Capital to Public Sector

Our team brings together a wealth of experiences spanning various ecosystems, including General Partners, Corporate Venture Capitalists, entrepreneurs, accelerators, professionals in finance and consulting and from public sector. Finally, our strength lies in being an agile and flexible organization that embraces the entrepreneurial spirit and regular ground work bottom up.

Our community

European Women in VC is a community of over 1000 senior female venture capital investors from all over Europe and beyond.

Depending on geography, female cheque writers represent only between 5% and 15% of angel and VC investors, while female founders receive only 2% of VC money. We are on the mission to change this status quo!
