INTRODUCTION

Founders Fund - pos.png

SBE Advisory is planning to launch a fund to provide access to growth capital for women-founded businesses.


The Fund intends to lead equity investments on fair terms while investing at different stages of business growth and using trusted advice through the Advisory to amplify growth.

1

DRIVE STRONG IMPACT VIA CONSCIOUS CAPITAL ALLOCATION TO AN UNDERSERVED SECTOR OF HIGH-GROWTH EQUITY INVESTING

The fund intends to solely invest in women-founded businesses building exceptional, purposeful high-growth businesses across key impact areas.

2

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY WILL BE DESIGNED AND MANAGED TO CHANGE MARKET METRICS

With an average of less than 3% of Venture Capital (“VC”) in Australia going to women-led businesses in 2023, the Fund believes it can deliver genuine manager skill, trusted insights
and informational advantage, and the deal flow to exploit market inefficiencies.

3

THE ADVISORY WILL DEVELOP A STRONG PIPELINE OF POTENTIAL INVESTMENTS BUILT ON 10+ YEARS OF SUCCESSFUL SBE PROGRAMS

Over the last 10+ years, SBE Australia, Not For Profit (“NFP”) organisation has supported 400 women-founded businesses raising more than $2 billion of capital, with 85% of companies still in business. The Fund will leverage the history of SBE programs, the Advisory network, advice and later stage programs to build a natural investment pipeline.
