We believe in Gender Equality and Social Inclusion
The data tells a compelling story: Women-led businesses deliver twice the revenue per dollar invested compared to male-led businesses, yet receive less than 2% of UK venture capital funding. By addressing this disparity, we can unlock an estimated £250 billion in untapped economic value for the UK economy alone.
Arosa believes that gender equality in entrepreneurship is not just a matter of social justice - it represents one of the greatest untapped economic opportunities of our time. "Empowerment through Investment" is our commitment to addressing the systematic underrepresentation of women in venture capital and entrepreneurship, depriving our economy of diverse perspectives, innovative solutions, and transformative business leadership.
Arosa Capital and the Arosa Foundation are taking concrete action to create lasting systemic change:
Investment with Impact
Our venture funds will deploy strategic capital to women-led businesses and entrepreneurs from underrepresented communities, proving that gender-intelligent investing delivers superior financial returns alongside positive social impact.
Ecosystem Development
We are building a self-sustaining network where successful women entrepreneurs and investors actively elevate others, creating a multiplier effect that amplifies our impact far beyond direct investment.
Barrier Removal
Through targeted grant funding, mentorship programs, and educational initiatives, we systematically address the barriers that have historically prevented women from accessing venture capital and scaling their businesses.
Industry Leadership
Working with the Council for Investing in Female Entrepreneurs, we advocate for increased funding solutions and actively promote women's advancement into senior investment roles.
We envision a future where gender is no longer a barrier to accessing capital, where women entrepreneurs receive equitable support to start and scale businesses, and where diverse leadership teams are the norm rather than the exception. This transformation will not only create unprecedented opportunities for women entrepreneurs but will drive innovation, economic growth, and prosperity that benefits society as a whole.
By fostering a more equitable, innovative, and prosperous entrepreneurial ecosystem where women-led businesses thrive, we are demonstrating that investing in women is not just the right thing to do - it's the smart thing to do.
