Women-led businesses rock

The UK economy needs more women investing and raising capital, and scaling companies.

​

Unlocking growth for women unblocks UK economic growth.

​

Our friends at Women Are Good Business have crunched the numbers.

Future Angels

Currently, just 14% of Angel Investors in the UK are women. Fundraising for female founders is harder when early-stage businesses are viewed through an overwhelmingly male lens.

​

SCALE Multipliers works with organisations like Womankind Ventures and XX Invest to empower more women to invest with confidence. Because guess what?
Women back women.

​

Built for under-represented founders, investors and allies to solve a real problem:
 

The persistent under-representation of women in boardrooms, pitch rooms, and on cap tables - on both sides - in every part of the UK.

​

How?

​

Amplified visibility, investor access, and vital connections to under-represented founders, supporting personal, professional and business growth, for the benefit of the UK economy.

"Women are natural multipliers. Every day, female founders and women leaders multiply each other’s contributions across all sectors and stages of business growth.

SCALE Multipliers recognises that allies of all genders and the wider scaleup ecosystem are also driving change, supporting under-represented, under-served and under-invested businesses through connection, collaboration and community." -  Amy Knight
