Something New is an investment fund that centers its strategy on the promotion of gender diversity and the empowerment of women within the business sector. With a strong focus on woman-focused industries, they aim to drive social impact alongside financial returns. Their investment thesis hinges on the belief that businesses led by or catering to women represent an underutilized market opportunity that can yield superior outcomes. As an active investor, Something New not only provides capital but also supports their portfolio companies through strategic guidance and by leveraging their network to create synergies between different entities that share a similar vision for gender equality in business. The fund seeks to engage with startups and growth-stage companies that have the potential to disrupt traditional markets or create new ones, with an emphasis on scalability, sustainability, and ethical governance practices. Through their investments, they intend to showcase the significant contributions that women can make to the global economy and to challenge the status quo that has historically limited women's access to capital and leadership roles. Something New operates with a hands-on investment approach, offering not just funding but also mentorship, growth strategy advisement, and access to an extensive network of industry experts and seasoned entrepreneurs who are committed to fostering women's success in business. Their goal is to build a more inclusive economy where women-led businesses are not the exception but the norm.
