[💡#ChangemakersTimes] — Tatiana Jama and the fight to close the funding gap for women entrepreneurs

In France, 88% of venture capital goes to companies founded exclusively by men. To fight this structural inequality, Tatiana Jama, Céline Lazorthes, and Valentine de Lasteyrie co-founded SISTA in 2018 — a collective working to bring more diversity into the digital economy.

 

Since then, SISTA has reshaped the ecosystem by:

✔️ Publishing an annual barometer to highlight inequalities and offer actionable solutions
✔️ Creating a commitment charter signed by 150+ investment funds aiming to have 25% of funded companies founded or co-founded by women by 2025
✔️ Launching SISTAFUND, the first investment fund dedicated to women-led startups — receiving over 2,000 applications annually and investing in 9 companies so far

 

💡 “Fundraising has historically been designed by and for men. It’s time to change the rules of the game”
