Jd Ventures

JD Ventures is a boutique fundraising and board advisory consultancy. We support and champion talented, passionate founders who are driven by creating change in their sector - able to generate a measurable social and/or environmental impact alongside a financial return. We pride ourselves on our powerful network, making connections and going beyond. Did you know that out of every £1 of VC investment in the UK, 89p goes to all-male founding teams? Of the remaining 11p, did you know that 10p of that goes to mixed gender teams? So what's left for all-female founding teams? 1 pence. Just 1 pence in every £1 of UK VC investment is given to all female founding teams - and it's not because of performance. A recent BCG study showed that female-led startups generate a revenue ROI that’s 2.5x higher than that of male-led teams. All-female founding teams are bringing in 2.5x more revenue for the investments made in them than the male-led teams but they're only getting the crumbs of VC investment. So we love to support and champion female led businesses and prioritise our investment in those companies as much as possible and always ensure we are as inclusive as possible. Our decades of championing diversity & purpose gives us unique access to opportunities to take your business to the next level.
