Investment Thesis

The firm’s investment philosophy is to correct the gender funding imbalance by backing outstanding female founders building scalable, value-creating businesses and to do so via long-term, founder-aligned partnerships rather than short-term, extractive deals. They emphasize trust, culture and active support — “building a venture capital firm with a difference” that goes beyond capital to create an environment where founders and their businesses “truly flourish.” The firm formalizes this through its Fair Venture Principles (inspired by Georges Doriot and the founder Anya Navidski), prioritizing alignment, long-term value and inclusiveness in deal structure, governance and portfolio support.

Investment Focus

Who should take a closer look

Voulez Capital is most relevant for founders raising venture-backed rounds in Other, especially across Europe.

Focus statement

They focus on investing in female founders across Europe, preferring deal structures that align incentives with founders (e.g., taking ordinary shares when leading rounds) and supporting businesses for long-term value creation rather than forcing exits or using complex instruments.

Value Add

Explicit, primary focus on female founders in Europe — branded as “Europe’s VC for #FemaleFounders” and stating they are "Europe's first VC for female founders."
Adoption of 'Fair Venture Principles' — described as "Like Fair Trade, just for Venture Capital," inspired by Georges Doriot and aimed at fairer terms for founders and investors.
Preference for taking ordinary shares on deals they lead and explicitly avoiding complex funding instruments such as prefs and ratchets.
Emphasis on building trust, culture and an environment where founders can "truly flourish" — providing hands-on support, governance help, an Investment Readiness Programme and broader initiatives (e.g., equipping more women to get a seat at the investor table).
Open application process (not limited to introductions/closed networks) and public tracking/reporting of diversity metrics.
Explicit integration of ESG, staff/stakeholder care, tax and legal compliance and founder wellbeing (avoid burnout) into investment practice.
