The Fair Fight Coalition: Funding Female Founders
Female founders are building high-potential companies, yet remain systematically underfunded and under-supported.
The Fair Fight Coalition brings together investors, accelerators, founder community leaders and ecosystem partners committed to changing that.
Our first working session focused on understanding where the system is falling short - identifying the barriers, friction points and missed opportunities that affect female founders throughout their journey.
Now, we’re moving from diagnosis to action.
This second closed-door working session will focus on developing practical solutions that can improve access to capital, support and long-term outcomes for female founders.
Together, we’ll work to:
Turn identified barriers into practical interventions - focusing on changes that could realistically be implemented across the ecosystem.
Develop new approaches to identifying and supporting high-potential female founders earlier.
Explore better metrics, standards and signals for assessing fundability, potential and long-term success.
Identify opportunities for collective action across investors, accelerators, communities and ecosystem partners.
Prioritise the ideas with the greatest potential for impact and define what it would take to move them forward.
This isn't another conversation about the problem. The aim is to leave with tangible ideas, clear priorities and potential actions that the Coalition can begin to take forward.
To make the session as productive as possible, participants will be thoughtfully grouped around the challenges and opportunities where their experience and perspective can have the greatest impact.
Hosted by enki, the fractional finance talent community, the Fair Fight Coalition brings together people actively shaping the future of entrepreneurship, investment and founder support.
