We’re Live: AtVenture Platform Has Officially Launched!

We’re proud to announce the launch of AtVenture Platform, founded by Laurie Lancee and Tessa de Flines, with one clear mission:

To close the gender wealth and funding gaps by activating diverse angel investors to back diverse founders.

AtVenture builds on decades of experience in the corporate world, startup life, angel investing, and fractional leadership. Laurie (CFO) and Tessa (COO) previously joined forces for Her Capital Connection, where they discovered how well their complementary strengths could create momentum for change.

Now, with AtVenture Platform, they are building the infrastructure to scale that impact.

Why AtVenture?

The numbers speak for themselves: Fewer than 10% of angel investors are women. Less than 2% of venture capital funding goes to female founders.

We believe this must — and can — change. AtVenture is not just another network. It’s a platform for action. We train and activate new angels, foster a strong peer community, and help capital flow to where it is long overdue.

What We’re Launching

AtVenture brings together 3 core pillars that form our Angel Investor Accelerator:

1. AtVenture Academy

Angel investing training for aspiring and early-stage angels. Learn together, gain confidence, and start investing.

2. AtVenture Angels

A peer-based community of angel investors. Learn from others, share insights, and co-invest with people who share your values.

3. AtVenture Allocate

Curated dealflow matching diverse founders with aligned capital. High-quality opportunities with impact at their core.

Together, these pillars support new angels as they gain knowledge, build confidence, and invest alongside a supportive community.

Connecting Ecosystems

We believe real change happens when we connect worlds that often operate in silos — corporates, startups, and investors. By bridging these communities, we’re building a stronger, more inclusive ecosystem where capital flows with purpose.

Who We're Looking For

AtVenture is for women, underrepresented individuals, and allies who want to be part of the change. We’re currently welcoming:

• Aspiring angels interested in learning and investing in diverse teams

• Corporates looking to offer angel training to employees or clients

• Diverse founders based in Europe raising pre-seed or seed capital

• Ecosystem partners aligned with our mission
