Pitch

All opinions expressed in this video are those of the founders of Female Invest.

About the Campaign

Many of our members have shown interest in investing in us, and we recognise that our achievements wouldn't be possible without your support.

Thus, we believe it's appropriate to offer our community the chance to take part in our larger $7-10 million ongoing Institutional Series A funding round.

Please note, however, that investing in our company does involve a substantial risk of losing your entire investment. We advise that you only invest if you are financially able to absorb such a loss.

Market Opportunity

We believe that women represent the largest untapped market in the fintech industry due to significant barriers and discrepancies in financial participation and knowledge.

By addressing these challenges, Female Invest is committed to democratizing financial knowledge and empowering women to fully engage in investing, thereby aiming to contribute to the closure of the financial gender gap and and unlock significant economic potential.

Traction & Key Accomplishment

Today we've built a community of 70,000 paying members generating a Net Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) of USD 4.2M (June 24) and a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 233% with members in over 120 countries.*

* Figures taken from Female Invest’s internal accounts. Past performance is not an indication of future performance.

Born global, Female Invest boasts a truly international presence. With members in 120+ countries and counting, we're proud to be a diverse and inclusive community driving change on a global scale.

We are witnessing significant growth in our social media following, with women actively and proudly endorsing our mission.

Our product is more than a financial education app. It's a comprehensive tool that empowers women to engage fully in finance.

It combines educational content, a risk-free trading simulator, a vibrant community, and timely market updates to help women navigate and master the financial world confidently.

As Female Invest evolves, trading has emerged as the next stage of development, integral to our commitment to empower women in finance.

Team

Emma, Camilla, and Anna, the co-founders of Female Invest, have rapidly grown the company from inception to a dynamic team of 35 employees spanning 9 nationalities.

Collectively, they are Sunday Times best-selling authors with 70,000 copies sold in over 60 countries and have garnered recognition from Forbes 30 under 30, the Women Cartier Initiative, and Y Combinator.

Business Model

Female Invest provides subscription-based access to a range of educational content, from basic to advanced investment courses, webinars, market news, podcasts, etc.

Additionally, in 2023, 11.5% of our revenue stemmed from global partnerships with companies on projects including events and content production, diversifying our income sources.

This model underpins a sustainable and scalable financial education strategy, aimed at empowering women in the investment sector.

Use of Funds

This funding will support our expansion into the U.S. market, scale our team and the enhancement of our investing platform.

Non-dividend paying: As a growth-driven company, we reinvest profits to drive expansion. There will be no dividend payouts.

High risk: Investing in the company involves high risks typical of VC investments, including operating at a loss to prioritize growth.

Long-term commitment: This investment is a long-term commitment, given the volatility of VC-backed ventures.

Share Class Disclosure

Below is an overview of the share classes in Female Invest's corporate structure. A full and detailed overview is available to download in the ‘documents’ tab of this campaign. PLEASE READ THE FULL SHARE DISCLOSURE AND ENSURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE TERMS OF THE ROUND.

There are two share classes in issue: Preferred Stock (Series A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4, A-5,A-6 and A-7 Preferred Stock) and Common Stock.

Seedrs investors will receive Series A-1 Preferred Stock.

Within the Preferred Stock there are “Major Investors”, who are any investors investing over $2m in the round. As this campaign is capped at $1m, Seedrs is not considered a Major Investor. Major Investors will receive rights that Seedrs will not. These include: enhanced information rights, pro rata participation in future rounds (also known as Pre-emption rights), first refusal rights, and co-sale rights.

Outstanding Debt

The business has the following debts:

1. A loan of DKK4,210,400* from EIFO, with an interest rate of 5.5%. This is being paid in 11 quarterly installments of DKK 448,500, and one final installment of DKK 449,420,65 at end of 12th quarter. The repayment schedule commenced on 02/04/2024.

A loan of DKK 8,774,450* from EIFO, with an interest rate of 13.3%. This is being paid in 16 quarterly installments of DKK 714,000, beginning 01/04/2025.

None of the funds raised will be used to repay these loans.

*Loan amount after establishment fees

Share Price & FX Rate

This investment is part of a larger round of $7-10M which is ongoing.

The share price has been calculated on a fully diluted basis using the current size of the outstanding option pool. There may be additions to the size of the option pool as part of the completion of the round, which would decrease the share price.

This funding round is priced in USD and an FX rate of $1:£0.79 (rounded to 2 d.p) has been used for the purposes of displaying the valuation and share price in this campaign. The final exchange rate to be used will be confirmed as part of the completion process, which means the GBP value of the valuation and share price may increase or decrease.

The company also has convertible debt converting as part of this round. This has been factored into the pre-money valuation, however the interest will only be calculated at the point of conversion, and there will therefore be further dilution as a result of this.

If the size of the option pool changes and/or the FX rate changes then the share price will be updated accordingly for investors on Seedrs.

Secondary Market

The Company has opted out of the Seedrs Secondary Market. This means that Female Invest will not be eligible on the Secondary Market.

Company Structure

The company is made up of three entities:

1. Female Invest Inc.
2. Female Invest Aps.
3. Female Invest Ltd.

Female Invest Inc. is the TopCo, and the company in which investors in this round will be receiving shares. The other two companies are wholly owned by Female Invest Inc.

Investing involves risks, including loss of capital, illiquidity, lack of dividends and dilution, and should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. Please read the Risk Warnings before investing. Investments should only be made by investors who understand these risks. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and is subject to change in future.

It is not intended to be a promotion of any individual investment opportunity and is not an offer to the public. The summary information provided about investment opportunities on this webpage is intended solely to demonstrate the types of investments available on the Republic Europe platform, and any investment decision should be made on the basis of the full campaign. Full campaigns are available to investors who have become authorised to invest on the Republic Europe platform. It is not for distribution in the United States of America and all investment activities take place within the United Kingdom. Any person resident outside the United Kingdom should ensure that they are not subject to any local regulations before investing.

Valuation (pre-money)

Valuation rounded from £31,136,578

This is the fully-diluted pre-money valuation of the business (i.e. before the new investment comes in and including issued options and other equity interests). In contrast, the post-money valuation is based on inclusion of the new investment in the value.

It is calculated as the pre-money valuation plus the amount of new investment. e.g. If Company A is ascribed a pre-money valuation of £1,200,000 by prospective investors investing £300,000, its post-money valuation is £1,500,000.

The investee business is responsible for setting its own valuation, it has not been prescribed by Republic Europe.

Pitch type

Investing in a regular equity campaign is the simplest and most common way to invest in a startup. You decide which business you want to invest in, and if the campaign hits its funding target then you will become one of their shareholders. As the company becomes more valuable, so do your shares; allowing you the opportunity to share in the future success of the business.

Learn more about pitch type on Republic Europe

Equity Offered

The equity offered is the percentage of the company’s shares being issued in return for the amount of investment raised.

When the amount raised is less than 100%, the equity offered is based on the target raise. Once the company has raised over 100% it is based on the total raised.

In some scenarios, entrepreneurs may accept additional direct investment after closing their Republic Europe campaign. Provided this is within 6 months of the closing and on the same terms, we do not typically offer pre-emption rights on that extra investment (where you have the opportunity to invest again to maintain your percentage shareholding).

Learn more about investing and pre-emption rights.

Nominee investment

This shows if you are able to choose, when making an investment, that you be represented by, and your shareholding be managed by, the Nominee investment.

Custodian

If you invest in this Campaign, Republic Europe will act as Custodian rather than provide our standard nominee service. This is due to the fact that the business is not directly involved in the share sale and Republic Europe will not benefit from any rights under a shareholder agreement. As a result, Republic Europe will handle administrative tasks as we do normally, but you will not have information or voting rights, updates from the business, preemption on future fundraising, or ongoing support about business trading activity.

Learn more about Custodian here

Secondary market

This shows if the business has opted-in or opted-out of allowing its shares to be bought and sold on the secondary market.

Find out more

Direct investment

If available, this is an option to invest and hold shares 'directly' in the company (rather than via the Nominee investment). This option is only available to those investing over the threshold amount, which is determined by the fundraising company.

If you choose to hold your shares directly, you will be responsible for any contractual or administrative arrangements with the company you are investing in.

Payment options

We are not able to accept card payments for investments into this sector. You can pay for your investment by creating a bank transfer or using funds in your investment account. Your investment will only be completed once the funds have reached our account.

Business Involvement

This Campaign offers shares for sale in business that is not directly involved in this Campaign or the sale. As a result, the Campaign and post-investment experience, including investor rights, will differ from a business-led campaign on Republic Europe. Most notably, the business will not engage with investors in the discussion forums both during and after the sale or provide any updates to investors.
