Analysis
The accelerator programme, created by AlbionVC and Speedinvest , will run from September to November 2024 and offer female co-founders access to extensive networks, and knowledge-sharing opportunities, and provide practical know-how through a mix of in-person half-day workshops and virtual sessions. Of the 450 unicorns in Europe, only 38 have a female co-founder and only 11 are in SaaS . Radia’s mission is to accelerate the growth journeys of startups with women co-founders, contributing to a more inclusive industry landscape. Ed Lascelles, an AlbionVC partner, discussed the aims of the accelerator programme: “Following a successful launch in 2023, AlbionVC and SpeedInvest have partnered for the return of the Radia Accelerator programme.” “By providing the necessary tools, networks, and support, we are committed to bridging the gender gap in SaaS and fostering the next generation of female tech leaders. Through the programme and ongoing partnership, we are playing a role in empowering the next generation of women in the tech sector and I am delighted to be part of the programme.” Ed Lascelles said.
