Angel Academe co-founder and CEO Sarah Turner and SyndicateRoom co-founder Tom Britton joined Stephen Gunnion in the Proactive studio following the launch of a new EIS fund focused on supporting female-led startups. Turner explained that this is the first EIS fund of its kind in the UK, aiming to correct the imbalance in venture capital allocation. “We're still at a point where women-only founded businesses are receiving less than 2% of all venture capital invested,” she said. The fund offers immediate diversification by targeting 8 to 12 companies, allowing investors to spread risk in what Turner described as a high-risk asset class. The initiative builds on Angel Academe's track record of over 100 funding rounds across 54 companies, including notable successes such as Béa Fertility, which recently secured FDA approval for its fertility device. Britton outlined his firm’s role in structuring and administering the fund. He emphasised the importance of supporting female founders and explained the tax benefits associated with EIS investments, including 30% income tax relief and capital gains exemptions. The fund is now open to retail investors via SyndicateRoom.com, with a minimum investment of £10,000. Visit Proactive’s YouTube channel for more investor interviews.
