Investment thesis
Mint Ventures is a women-led angel syndicate operating on the belief that inclusivity drives innovation. It backs early-stage companies raising roughly £50k to £200k that qualify for EIS or SEIS tax relief, leading deals and co-investing with other angel groups for rounds up to £1m. The group targets products and services meeting the interests and needs of women with a clear social, ethical or environmental purpose, focusing on under-funded sectors where women are more likely to found companies, such as retail, food and drink, beauty, health and wellbeing, creative industries, and digital marketplace technology. It also trains new women members to become angel investors.
