Bootstrap 4F has made its first three investments from the £130 million Women Backing Women Fund of Funds, supporting Evertrue Capital, Seedcamp VII, and Seedcamp Nation II less than three months after closing.
These three funds represent a wide range, from a brand-new manager to one of Europe’s most established seed funds. This shows that Bootstrap 4F is open to more than just familiar or low-risk options.
Fully female-founded teams received only 1.75% of UK equity investment in 2025. Bootstrap 4F believes that changing who manages the capital, not just who receives it, can help improve that number.
Three months after closing £130 million, Bootstrap 4F has started making investments. Its first three commitments, made in under 90 days, show its approach: one investment went to one of Europe’s most established seed funds, and another to a new manager who launched her fund less than a year ago.
That range is intentional. Bootstrap 4F, the fund manager chosen to run the Women Backing Women Fund of Funds, which is supported by Barclays, the British Business Bank, M&G Investments, and Nationwide, is investing in Evertrue Capital I LP, Seedcamp VII LP, and Seedcamp Nation II LP.
