We champion Northern Tech and fuel the early-stage economy
By providing connections to early-stage funding at a critical point in the life cycle of northern tech startup businesses.
We are helping to plug the geographical and gender funding gap by showcasing the wealth of amazing, diverse tech founders we have in the North.
We're very active in the HealthTech, FinTech, sustainability, AI and media sectors, augmented by some targeted additional support for female founders.
Fund Her North is a volunteer collective of over 30 women (in VC’s, funding organisations and angel groups), with a combined investment power of over £650 million, which is part of NorthInvest.
We will make introductions via Fund Her North to the wider regional investor community and The Women Angels of the North Investor Syndicate.
