Arãya Ventures and Sie Ventures have announced the first close of a joint early-stage fund at £7.5m, targeting pre-seed and seed startups founded by women.
The fund is the brainchild of Rupa Popat, founder and managing partner of Arãya Ventures, and Triin Linamagi, managing partner of Sie Ventures.
