The market for funding early-stage business is broken. Entrepreneurs looking to raise startup capital have two options. They can cold email potential investors where their proposal goes to the bottom of a large pile. Or they must rely on their limited network to – hopefully – get connected to the right investor. When they do get there, it is often with an investment proposition that is incomplete or could be improved, and VCs and angels don’t have the bandwith to provide useful feedback on how to enhance chances of funding success. Capital Pilot is a platform that makes raising equity easier for startups, providing fundraising intelligence and matching between startups and investors.

Voulez Capital
Voulez Capital is a VC for Female Founders which creates an environment where they, and their businesses, can truly flourish. They see investment in women not just as ‘impact’ investment, though it is. It is something that makes business sense and a great source of opportunities. Many reputable studies have shown that businesses with more gender-balanced senior teams perform better than the rest of the market (e.g. Quantopian, Credit Suisse, Catalyst, Nordea). It is their sincere desire that in a few years’ time, as a result of work done by companies like Voulez Capital, their focus on women will no longer be required. That the venture capital market will ‘normalize’ and will be able to broaden their investment criteria. In the meantime, Voulez Capital invests in exceptional management teams which include at least one woman founder, businesses focused on less traditionally feminine sectors, such as energy and sustainability, technology (SaaS, IoT, data, etc.), market places, manufacturing, engineering, product design, healthcare, and education. We also invest in outstanding products and services aimed at improving women’s (and family’s) lives, such as women’s health, things that enable better work-life balance, easier, more effective, more convenient and less gender-biased childcare and education.
