About Us
3 Sisters Ventures ("3SV") is a London-based venture capital firm pioneering gender-smart investing in Europe.
Sponsored by FTSE 250 listed investment firm IP Group plc, 3SV invests in tech-enabled solutions that address women's underserved needs.
We believe passionately in the potential for technology to create solutions that contribute to a more equitable society, and are on a mission to close gender gaps and create a fairer world.
Founders First
We back entrepreneurs building category-defining companies that will make an enduring difference to women's lives.
We want to empower founders and aim to be as hands-on or hands-off as the situation requires. We know it takes persistence and patience to build impactful businesses, and we will leverage our experience and network to help portfolio companies on that journey.
Founders can think of us like their big sisters: who they can turn to for advice, who always have their backs, and who aren't afraid to speak hard truths.
We target four gender gaps through our investments
The Gender Wealth Gap
It isn't just the Gender Pay Gap that contributes to women's lower wealth, additional factors such as lower confidence and higher risk aversion also contribute to women saving less for retirement.
The Gender Health Gap
A lack of funding into women's conditions, underrepresentation of women in health studies, failure to sex-disaggregate data, and trivialisation of women's complaints all contribute to a Gender Health Gap.
The Gender Leisure Gap
Women have less leisure time than men, driven largely by the inequitable distribution of care work, with women spending 2-10x more time on unpaid care work globally than men.
The Gender Confidence Gap
The confidence of girls plummets from age 8 and this loss of confidence persists in later years affecting educational choices and career progression.
Our mission makes good business sense.
Women are an increasingly powerful demographic.
Not only do women drive 70-80% of all consumer purchasing decisions, global female income is also growing at a 10% CAGR, reaching $24tn in 2020.
We are willing to bet that women will pay for solutions that increase their wealth, health, leisure time and confidence.
