Investment thesis

Mint Ventures is a women-led business angel investment club and syndicate based in Scotland, formally launched in 2021, that provides Social, Human and Economic (SHE) Capital for women entrepreneurs and diverse executive teams or boards. Guided by a proven philosophy that inclusivity is an essential element of innovation, the group invests in products and services that meet the needs and interests of women with a clear social, ethical or environmental purpose, with a focus on underfunded sectors including Retail, Food & Drink, Beauty, Health and Wellbeing, Creative Industries, Femtech, and Digital Marketplace technology. Mint Ventures invests in diverse, women-led teams at the pre-seed or seed stage, raising £50,000–£250,000 in EIS/SEIS-eligible equity, with priority given to Scotland-based companies or those demonstrating significant global impact on womankind. The group also educates and trains women to become angel investors, democratising access to early-stage investing.

Notable quotes
