Women, Wealth & Innovation — Delivering Alpha by Backing the Best

We unlock capital to fuel the next generation of female-founded ventures and the funds that invest in them—because the data is clear: diverse teams don’t just perform, they outperform.

Today’s most impactful, high-growth companies are led by inclusive teams, yet only 3% of venture capital is invested in women-led companies. We exist to change that. Because in a world where access to capital is driven by merit, not privilege, we all win.

Investing In Women

“Our fund continues to benefit from the talent and success of our women-led companies. We’re proud that in total, we have placed approximately 35% of our invested capital into their businesses and continue to reap the returns. In 2021 alone, public companies acquired two of our women-led startups. These acquisitions underscore the value being created by our founders and their ability to grow world-class technology companies.”

“Our continued outperformance as GPs invested into female founders will help us close the gender venture investment gap. The fund business is tough, but we must remain steadfast. I recall the difficulty raising our first fund during the last Global Financial Crisis. While we were underestimated, our value proposition of cleantech and sustainability was clear, and with the right targeting of aligned corporates and institutions, we built a strong foundation for the firm you see today.”

“The joy of Beyond The Billion, is now you’re addressing the next problem. With innovative managers identified with ways to mobilize capital into women, the next question is, how do we get capital into those managers to get it into women’s pockets, instead of the same people who have been funded in the past?”

“For a fund like ours, this was an easy decision to make a pledge to Beyond The Billion. While we don’t have a specific target requirement between types of founders or leaders for the fund, if we ended up with a working pipeline that was exclusively male, we should ask ourselves why that is and look into our deal sourcing, deal evaluation and other processes. Since we are working closely with Grand Challenges Canada, a signatory on track to achieve its target, we know it's possible!”
