LONDON, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SyndicateRoom has announced today that the Angel Academe EIS Fund I, an investment fund dedicated to high-potential, female-founded technology startups, has secured over 75% of its minimum target raise.
Managed in partnership with Angel Academe, the UK's leading angel network for women founders, the fund is on track to be fully subscribed before its October 31st deadline. It aims to deploy capital into 7-10 promising, EIS-qualifying tech companies during the 25/26 tax year, targeting a 3x return.
"Hitting the 75% milestone so quickly is a powerful validation of our thesis: investing in high-potential female-founded tech companies is not just impactful, but a smart financial strategy," said Sarah Turner, CEO of Angel Academe. "We are grateful for our investors' backing and remain committed to closing the funding gap for diverse founders and delivering exceptional returns."
Angel Academe has a formidable track record, having backed over 55 female-founded startups. These companies have raised more than £200 million in follow-on investment from respected UK VCs, including Octopus Ventures, Balderton Capital, and JamJar Investments.
Successes from the Angel Academe portfolio include:
- Béa Fertility (8.4x MOIC): The at-home intracervical insemination (ICI) kit provider has seen its valuation soar from £2.25 million in 2020 to £19 million today.
- Fiskl (10x Valuation Growth): An AI-powered global accountancy platform, Fiskl recently won European Accounting Tech of the Year and has seen the valuation of Angel Academe's 2018 investment increase tenfold.
Tom Britton, Co-founder of SyndicateRoom, added, "The demand for this fund proves that backing female founders is not a niche interest. It's telling that our investor split is around 60/40 women to men-everyone sees the compelling opportunities generated by the rigorous selection process and the proven resilience of these entrepreneurs."
