Capital

Capital isn’t just about financial resources; it’s about the power to create opportunities and shape industries. When women equally allocate capital, we will unlock the full potential and innovation of Australian ventures.

We know that there is an underinvestment in female-led ventures. And that’s not because they fail to deliver the same (or better) returns as their male counterparts.

We want to see an equal proportion of men and women making investment decisions and running companies in Australia. So we invest in amazing female-led ventures and fund managers.
