Helena Capital is raising a $200m Series B fund to lead invest in impact-driven, US- and European-based B2B tech companies across Fintech, Sustainability, Frontier, healthcare & SaaS. Redefining Venture Capital for Women We have a keen eye for female-led tech companies that have achieved strong revenue traction through proven, innovative AI/software-enabled technologies and are at an inflection point of global scaling, most often transatlantic. Female-led* companies generate 35% higher ROI and 12% more revenue than their male counterparts, offering a unique investment opportunity, however, fewer than 5% of female-led companies make it to Series B. We are particularly passionate about bridging this funding gap for startups making an impact on the worlds biggest problems.
