Joanna Invests

With Joanna Invests, we have a goal: we want to invest EUR 5 million in fantastic female founders. So we are very excited to announce our new offering – join our package deal and invest in a portfolio of 5 startups! Over the last 1.5 years the Joanna Invests Community has grown to 400 (potential) investors. And we have built a great portfolio of 5 companies (We Are Eves, Quan - employee well-being, Peekabond, Ozarka B.V. and tex.tracer). However, one thing we have heard from our Community is that they often don’t have the time and/or know-how to spend on an opportunity we present. We have therefore developed this package deal. Do you want to know more and help us reach our goal? Please check out our (new!) website or send Claire a message. We would love it if you join us and support the incredible potential of female entrepreneurs. Thanks to Philip Bueters for publishing the article and all our fantastic advisors :-) Please check the article below ⬇ #womeninvestors #investinwomen #packagedeal #femalefounders #femaleentrepreneur #femaleinvestors #joannainvests #girlsjustwannahavefunds #BHAG #lifegoals

Exciting Team Update! We’re thrilled to welcome Melissa Ablett-Jordaan to the team! 🎉 With over 15 years of experience in entrepreneurship and innovation, Melissa has been a driving force behind the growth of the Cambridge Innovation Center, including launching its Rotterdam location. Now, she’s bringing her expertise to Joanna Invests, using some of her career-break time to help us secure our next investment round and continue building our platform. As both an investor and community developer, Melissa is passionate about supporting our causes. In her latest blog, Melissa highlights the pitfalls of “startup theater” and instead wants to focus on taking real action to close the gender funding gap. She believes angel investing is a crucial way to democratize funding and address the pension gap, particularly for women. Melissa’s commitment to fostering female entrepreneurship aligns perfectly with our mission. Here’s to making a difference together! ✨ #newteammember #growth #femaleinvestors #femalefounders #investinwomen #pensiongap #fundinggap #girlsjustwannahavefunds

📢 Exciting News from Our Portfolio Company, We Are Eves! 🌟 We are thrilled to share that We Are Eves has launched a crowdfunding campaign (link in comments) to invite their amazing community to join in their journey. We Are Eves is not just another company; it was our first investment. Founders Esther Leloux, Julie Hotchkin and Quint Mouthaan are building We Are Eves to be the TripAdvisor of beauty products. They are on a mission to bring more transparency to the beauty industry. Through their community-driven e-commerce platform, real people share their honest experiences, empowering users to make informed purchasing decisions in the beauty market. By opening up this crowdfunding campaign, they are ensuring that their community can join in their success and be a part of their incredible mission. This might be your last chance before they are going for Series A fundraising! We wholeheartedly support We Are Eves' initiative and encourage you to check out their campaign. Together, we can build a future where everyone has a stake in the success stories we believe in.

🚀 Celebrating female founders on Friday again! 🌟 Yesterday, we witnessed the energy and innovation brought forward by 36 incredible female entrepreneurs who participated in the Momentum Fast Track program, organised by our friends from Equals, Startupbootcamp, Workmode, and Unknown Group. These talented women pitched their ideas and showed entrepreneurial spirit, embodying the very essence of what Momentum stands for – empowering and accelerating female-led ventures. At Joanna Invests, we believe in the power of women to transform industries and create sustainable futures. The passion and creativity displayed during these presentations reinforce our commitment to supporting female entrepreneurs every step of the way. Are you also ready to boost your business? Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you are looking for funding. Kudos to all the participants for their hard work and dedication. We can't wait to see how their journeys unfold and the impact they will make! In the photos: Ines Leite (digital fashion designer) and Fleur Geerinck from Floria Collective (sustainable fashion).

Super proud moment! Our Advisory Board member Angelique Schouten has raised EUR 1,000,000 for her company 10x.Team. She is such an inspirational power woman 🚀 and we are honored to have her. 10x is a members-only platform and community uniting top fractional leaders & professionals with ambitious companies aiming for exceptional outcomes. Often, start- and/or scaleups do not need a fulltime employee, but they would still need the support of experienced leaders. 10x makes this available to them! #femalefounders #fundraising #femaleinvestors #girlsjustwannahavefunds #growth
