Last chance to invest: EIS Fund 2 for Female Founders
Don't invest unless you're prepared to lose all the money you invest. This is a high-risk investment and you are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong. Take 2 mins to learn more here https://www.syndicateroom.com/risk-warning
Join us for our last webinar before EIS Fund 2 closes to investors. EIS Fund 2 is the only tax-efficient fund specifically investing in female founders.
In our first webinar for the fund, we made the business case for investing in female founders (recording here). In the second, we talked about our investment thesis and robust due diligence (watch the recording). In this one, we'll showcase one of the angels from our network as well as 2 of the companies from our investment portfolio.
It'll be a fascinating conversation between 3 very different women on about leading in the age of AI, creating lasting value, raising investment and why we should all back female tech founders.
Angela Cretu began her angel investing journey with Angel Academe in 2023. She was just coming to the end of a 25 year career with Avon, rising through the ranks to Global CEO where she was responsible for a $4bn operation across 60+ markets.
While CEO, she led Avon's transformation from legacy, traditional single-channel business into a modern, AI powered omni-channel one. Today she advises boards, leadership teams and founders on transformation, strategic growth, AI & ESG governance, organisational change and value creation.
Sarah Arana-Moreton is CEO of Provenance, an Angel Academe-backed scaleup that helps brands and retailers prove their product claims with independent validation that customers can trust.
Previously, Sarah helped pioneer Tesco Clubcard's data analytics across global markets at dunnhumby, before joining OpenCorporates to open up company information for governments, financial institutions and tech companies. The thread running through all of it: transparent data creates real commercial value.
Rachel Curtis is co-founder and CEO of Inicio AI, another Angel Academe-backed scaleup. With over 30 years of experience in the UK financial services sector, Rachel transitioned from corporate banking leadership to founding a pioneering technology startup to humanise and simplify financial affordability and debt management.
The people behind the fund from Angel Academe and SyndicateRoom will also be on hand to update you on progress from the Fund 1 portfolio and the investment pipeline for Fund 2 as well as answer your questions.
Past performance is not a guide to future returns, EIS tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change, and capital is at risk.
