About the fund
Sistafund's Gender-Lens Fund is an early-stage venture capital vehicle that focuses on investing in European companies where women hold at least 30% of founder shares. The fund, which is domiciled in France and currently in fundraising status, targets a commitment size of €100 million for deployment across seed and Series A investment opportunities. It specifically addresses diversity and inclusion priorities, with a core investment thesis centered on advancing women's entrepreneurship and leadership in the European startup ecosystem. The fund seeks capital from institutional investors and development finance institutions to support its gender-focused investment strategy. Its investment approach aims to address the documented funding gap faced by women entrepreneurs while potentially benefiting from the differentiated perspectives and market opportunities that gender-diverse founding teams can access.
