About us
We are Helena Capital
At Helena Capital, we're on a mission to break barriers for female-led tech companies.
With only 5% making it to Series B, we believe it's time to change the game.
Our Mission
What sets us apart
We’re not just investors; we’re partners throughout the whole lifecycle of a business. Our team knows that being underestimated fuels the endurance needed to succeed.
Our Approach
First, we "invest before we invest", engaging with female leaders at the seed and Series A stages.
Then, when they’re ready, we can lead or co-lead their Series B round, confident in the team because we've been with them every step of the way.
But our support does not end there
Post-investment growth
With deep expertise in scaling businesses, we help our portfolio companies continue to grow post-investment.
We ensure additional revenue growth and expansion into international markets through our global management team and operating partner network.
International Expansion
Exits
Our dedicated late-stage team focuses on securing the next round of funding, outlining listing opportunities, or positioning for a successful exit.
We’re not just funding growth -
we’re fueling it.
Helena Capital is a growth venture capital firm investing in female-led tech companies that have achieved strong revenue traction through proven, innovative AI/software-enabled technologies and are at an inflection point of global scaling, most often transatlantic.
Female-led* companies generate 35% higher ROI and 12% more revenue than their male counterparts, offering a unique investment opportunity, however, fewer than 5% of female-led companies make it to Series B.
We are particularly passionate about bridging this funding gap for startups making an impact on the world's biggest problems in climatetech, fintech, healthtech, or deeptech (robotics/AI).
*Female-led is sometimes used in place of female-founded for reasons of readability. We do not intend to misrepresent research results and are aware of the differences between the two.
