As the number of female-led ventures continue to rise and with research showing that gender diverse executive teams are more likely to have above-average profitability, why is investment in female-led businesses so low in 2023?

Panintelligence and The Data City will be joined by experts from the world of investment and data insights to talk openly about the lack of funding available to female-led businesses and what can be done to change the record both regionally and nationally.

The Agenda

  • What the data tells us – The current investment landscape in the UK & the data behind it.
  • Raising funds – The experience of raising funds as a female founder in 2023.
  • What needs to change? The key aspects of the investment community need to change.
  • Advice for female-led businesses – Practical advice for female founders looking to raise funds.
