Investment thesis
Scale Investors invests in women-led startups on the thesis that female-founded companies are systematically overlooked yet tend to outperform. The firm argues women-led businesses are uniquely positioned to serve historically underserved female markets, that women are gaining significant wealth and decision-making power, and that these represent large, unmet addressable markets. By backing women founders, the fund aims to capture opportunities for outperformance that other investors miss.
