For founders
Raising, and building something worth backing? We want to hear from you.
XX Invest is a community of UK women who back female-founded businesses. We're building our first cohort of founders to feature to members, here's what we're looking for, and how to put yourself forward.
What we're looking for
- Stage
- Seed and pre-Series A. You've got a product in market and early commercial evidence, and you're raising to accelerate something that already works, not to find out whether it does.
- Sector
- Open to any sector, except deep biotech, hardware-heavy capital cycles and crypto assets, we can't assess these honestly. Beyond that, we're looking for businesses that do some good in the world, not just ones that make money in it.
- Geography
- UK-incorporated. It helps if you can confirm EIS or SEIS eligibility, where relevant.
- Typical cheque size
- We typically get involved in rounds of £150,000 to £500,000 in total, with individual members investing £2,000 to £10,000 each.
This is a waitlist, not an application. Signing up doesn't guarantee a review, a timeline, or a place in front of our members. We'll be in touch if there's a fit, once our founder process is up and running.
