Invest in Women Taskforce: £250M fund of funds to invest in female fund managers

A major milestone was recently reached for the 🇬🇧 UK venture capital ecosystem and the women driving its growth. At the London Stock Exchange, Bootstrap 4F was proudly announced as the official fund manager for the Invest in Women Taskforce initiative -a groundbreaking £250 million Fund of Funds designed to channel more capital into female-led VC firms across the UK.
‍
The mission is clear: to create a more dynamic and inclusive investment landscape that not only drives meaningful impact but delivers strong returns. Despite consistently outperformance by female-led teams, the funding gap remains, and systemic barriers continue to hold back women entrepreneurs. This fund is here to change that, offering capital that is not only purposeful but long overdue.

We are thrilled and super proud for the Bootstrap Europe team ringing the bell at the London Stock Exchange to celebrate the amazing Invest in Women Taskforce and Bootstrap's appointment as the Fund of Funds manager for the £250M initiative to back high-performing, female-led venture funds across the 🇬🇧 UK! As partners of this groundbreaking project, we look forward to this huge milestone in our work for the 🇬🇧 UK market and for all the female GPs and female founders who are delivering amazing financial and impact results!

Thank you to the Invest in Women Taskforce and in particular to Debbie and Hannah for your commitment, your hard work and your trust! Looking forward to working closer with our active members: Fatou and Stephanie and with our male allies: Matthias, Alexander and Shailen - onwards and upwards!
