In 2024, investment in women-led startups in Europe saw a 12% decline, aligning closely with an 11% drop in overall venture funding. However, the report from Female Foundry highlights that women in deep tech are raising more capital than their male counterparts, fueled by the sector's academic connections. The Female Innovation Index 2025 survey included insights from over 1,200 women founders and investors, showing increased participation of women in deep tech, despite women-only founding teams receiving just 2.2% of venture capital.
"It's worth noting here that Female Founders counted startups that had at least one female co-founder, which greatly increases the sample size of startups considered in this report."
"The report found that women who founded deep tech startups are raising more than men are in that area, showing a shift in investment trends."
