Anthemis Female Innovators Lab Fund grew from Anthemis and Barclays' partnership to address barriers facing women building financial-services companies. It combines a venture fund with a studio that supplies capital and support across product development, operations, hiring and marketing.

The fund seeks to be an early institutional investor in women-led businesses across the financial-services ecosystem. Founders receive continuing support and access to specialist networks without a fixed cohort cycle, distinguishing its approach from accelerators and incubators. It invests across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Europe.
