“We want to be the equity partner of choice for dynamic women focused businesses.”

Welcome to Trapezia. Women’s enterprise is one of the fastest growing sectors in some of the major developed economies. In the UK and Europe, companies with female CEOs received only 2.5% of all venture capital funding in 2004, even though studies show that businesses with higher representation of women in their top management team perform better.  Trapezia taps into this significant opportunity by partnering women who aspire to build scaleable businesses.

We have developed the 'Trapezia' investment strategy and brand to target 'Women-Focused Businesses'. These are companies where women have an influential role and which are either led, directed or substantially managed by women, or involved with a product or service which benefits women. Backing this sector is smart economics.

The Trapezia funds are the first of their kind in Europe dedicated exclusively to investing in high growth women-focused businesses.  Having successfully closed and fully invested Trapezia EIS, our credible deal-flow has led directly to the launch of our £50m Trapezia ll Fund.
