In Europe, all-female founding teams receive just 2% of total venture capital.
That’s not a typo. Two percent.
And yet—despite this massive imbalance in funding—female founders are outperforming. Consistently. Quietly. Powerfully.
Now imagine what could happen if they were funded FULLY.
The Numbers Investors Can’t Ignore
Across European markets, the data is clear:
• Revenue Efficiency: Startups founded by women generate 2x more revenue per euro invested than male-founded ones.
• Capital Efficiency: Privately held companies led by women deliver 35% higher ROI.
• VC Performance: When funded, female-led teams generate 12% more revenue than their male counterparts.
In other words: they do more with less—and still get less access
But that’s not a tragedy. That’s an opening.
This Isn’t a Gap—It’s a Goldmine
What if the most overlooked asset class in Europe isn’t a sector, but a gender?
If you’re an investor, a fund, a VC partner looking for outsized returns and untapped innovation, here’s your unfair advantage:
Start backing women.
Because while the world debates equity, the data shows opportunity.
And the smart money? It’s already moving.
The Vision
Now imagine the future when women build it:
• Companies that grow without exploiting people or the planet.
• Wealth created by systems designed to include—not exclude.
• A global economy fueled by purpose, resilience, and reinvention.
At RECLAIM, we know capital is more than currency—it’s a catalyst.
And it’s time we used it to fund the future we actually want to live in.
One Final Thought
If you’re still on the sidelines, ask yourself this:
When women-owned startups become the most valuable in your portfolio—
will you be able to say you got in early?
Because history is being rewritten.
And those who fund it now… will own it later.
