EVE Angel Investors (A female led investment consortium)

Harveen Gill and Sue Webster, founders of HGA Group, a leading global talent acquisition and business consultancy, who in collaboration with Greg Tufnell, HGA Group, Chair and founder of Prime Advantage Capital Partners have launched EVE - a female led business community who will invest in small and mid-sized organisations regardless of gender. Purpose, thinking holistically, fairness and ambition, we believe that our monthly showcase sessions will enhance knowledge and present compelling investment opportunities. The statistics below are depressing, we believe we have created a much needed platform for female investors. The UK has amongst the most active global Angel Investors, BUT are you aware how shockingly under - represented women are in the investment community? • Only 2.2% of US/UK venture capital funds are invested in female led businesses. • For every £1 of venture capital investment in the UK, all female founder teams receive less than 1p. In comparison all male founder teams receive 89p. • Therefore it will take 25 years for all female teams to secure 10% of all funding. • 83% of deals that UK Venture Capitalists made in 2018, had no women at all on the founding teams! Yet Research from FTSE-100 listed stockbroker Hargreaves Lansdown, shows their female clients perform better than men over a three-year period – published 2018.
