Auxxo Female Catalyst Fund is a German venture capital fund investing in early-stage European startups led by at least one female founder. Operating across all sectors, the fund targets pre-seed and seed-stage companies where female founders maintain a minimum of 20% ownership of founder shares.
Beyond capital deployment, Auxxo provides active coaching, hands-on support, and access to its VC network. The fund integrates environmental, social, and governance principles throughout its operations, investment process, portfolio management, and founder engagement practices. Its approach combines a gender-lens investment methodology with a founder-focused thesis, recognising that founder quality and commitment matter most at the earliest stages.
The fund's gender-lens approach extends beyond a single demographic consideration. It acknowledges that diversity encompasses multiple dimensions - including race, age, disability, and educational background - and that these factors shape founder experiences and startup trajectories in venture capital.
