If you’re reading this newsletter, you’re probably aware of our mission, the Fight for Fairer Funding initiative which we started in 2019 and have been following our updates on the launch and completion of our fund, Funding Focus Investment Trust plc.
This fund will be dedicated to investing in female and ethnic minority founders. It is on a mission to secure attractive valuation in female- and ethnic minority-led companies that have the ability to outperform peers.
We have been working hard on this very important launch and have used some of the best resources out there to equip us with the right tools. One such resource is Pitchbook. In addition to using Pitchbook to keep up to date with the numbers and statistics of funding to female and minority entrepreneurs, we’ve recently done an interview with Pitchbook on how we’re using the tool to build success for female and minority-led startups.
Check out the full case study below.

With love and gratitude,
David
