The Pledge

We recognise that female entrepreneurs face unique challenges in accessing finance and capital. Female Founder Finance is committed to addressing this inequality and help close the gender gap in entrepreneurship.

We pledge to:

• Actively seek out female-founded companies, including those led by women from under-represented groups.
• Ensure that due diligence required to secure access to finance is done in a fair and equitable manner, free from unconscious bias or discrimination.
• Create an ecosystem to help female founders succeed.
• Be an advocate for policies and practices that support gender diversity and equity in entrepreneurship and access to finance for female founders.
• Support and actively promote the Women in Finance Charter and the Investing in Women Code.
• Hold ourselves accountable for progress towards these goals and regularly report on this work to our stakeholders.

We are dedicated to creating a more inclusive and equitable environment for female founders to access finance and thrive. We are committed to helping close the gender funding gap and building a more inclusive and diverse entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Working towards the Female Founders Finance strategic end state of “when there is no longer a need for our services, because gender bias is no more, our work here is complete”.
