Entrepreneurship is the most powerful engine of economic opportunity - and venture capital its fuel. Yet today, only 2% reaches female founders. Behind that number is not just a funding gap, but a pipeline failure: countless ideas never pursued, companies never built, and talent never properly fulfilled. Women Who Build exists to change that - at the very beginning. We focus on the earliest, most overlooked layer of company creation: the moment someone decides whether entrepreneurship is “for them.” By bringing the startup ecosystem to exceptional young women earlier - through education, mentorship, and community - we shift that decision upstream. In under 18 months, this has grown into a 3,000+ member network across top universities, supported by some of Europes leading investors, operators, and institutions. This isn’t just about startups. It’s about who gets to shape the future. Join us to build it. → [bit.ly/m/Join-WWB]

Inspiring and educating the next generation of female investors. GAIN (Girls Are Investors) is a charity that aims to increase the entry-level gender diversity in investment management. Through a wide range of resources, programmes and hands-on work opportunities we make sure more young women and non-binary individuals enter this rewarding industry. GAIN Sweden is the first international venture of GAIN UK, which has been operating across England and Wales since 2019. In the last 5 years GAIN UK has reached over 50,000 students and works directly with 250+ investment firms. We’re excited to bring this important initiative to the Swedish market, and enable young women and non-binary people in Sweden to benefit from the broad foundation of online resources that GAIN offers in the UK, and take part in a range of local in-person events and programmes that GAIN will launch in Sweden.

We back founders early building for the AI era. Founders building technically complex data and AI enablers, and AI native applications. But most importantly still, founders with outlier ingenuity, childish curiosity, and the stamina to prevail. Headquartered in Stockholm, and run by an international team of ex-founders who have built ideas to IPOs, our portfolio consists of 40+ companies across Europe.
