Introducing: Founders Forum Group's 100 Women Founders to Watch, launched today! 🚀 Our 100 Women Founders to Watch are launching disruptive new businesses, driving climate action, accelerating #AI, innovating across 20+ industries from #femtech to #spacetech, and they’ve raised more than $1.1b between them. 💰 Like Fork & Good, Inc.’s Niyati Gupta, who is biomanufacturing climate-friendly meat 🥩 or Beyond Aero’s Eloa Guillotin, who is building a world-first electric business aircraft powered by hydrogen 🛩 or cylib’s Lilian Schwich, who’s just closed a €55m Series A round, the largest ever funding round for a European battery recycling startup. ♻ Discover the full list here 👉 https://lnkd.in/e3MRxmpR For many founders who identify as women, there are still significant challenges when it comes to raising investment. Startups founded or co-founded by women raise just 10% of total VC funding in Europe, and women-only founded startups raise just 2% of funding in the US. Companies led by Black women receive less than 1%. Our report, published in partnership with Institut auf dem Rosenberg, also features exclusive interviews with leading founders and investors who share their insights on how to move more investor money to women. 💡 Huge thanks to: Anita Gademann Daphne Koller Grace Beverley Mona Monica Kattan Jayne-Anne Gadhia Kathryn Petralia Lilly Sabri Mada Seghete Marcia Kilgore Tania Boler Jeannette zu Fürstenberg Meghan S.
