New York New York! What an exceptional way to round off International Women’s Day (**fortnight). It’s been back-to-back! From hosting a roundtable with ✨Rt Hon Rachel Reeves✨at No.11 Downing Street on Monday morning, to hosting an event at the NY Consulate with ✨HRH the Duchess of Edinburgh and Jenny Tooth OBE ✨ on Tuesday afternoon. Across it all, our mission for the Invest in Women Taskforce remains the same: to make the UK the best place in the world to be a female entrepreneur. To do this, we have launched one of the largest funds of its kind in the world for women-led businesses of £255 million. But we’re not stopping there. Working in collaboration across the US and the UK matters now more than ever. And we are keen to work with new partners to drive further capital. Investing in female entrepreneurs is not about DEI, it’s about market opportunity and economic growth. Did you know women-led businesses create 35% better return on investments than men? Investing in female entrepreneurs is the smart thing to do. 🚀Join us in our mission to make the UK the best place in the world to be a female founder.
