The51 is a venture fund and financial platform where current and aspiring investors and entrepreneurs come together to democratize access to capital for women. Founded in Calgary, we are building a new movement to create value, tapping into Canada’s underutilized female wealth and investing it in talented female entrepreneurs and venture funds.Women make up 51 per cent of the population… and women control 30 per cent of the world’s wealth. Forty per cent of us out-earn our male partners and statistically, companies founded by us outperform our male counterparts by 63 per cent. Despite all of this, we make up less than 25 per cent of directors on Canadian boards. Only 15.2 per cent of partners at Canadian venture capital firms are women. As a result, only 10 per cent of Canadian VC investment deals since 2014 went to companies founded by women. How can Canada’s economy reach its true potential if 51 per cent of the population isn’t fully participating?By uniting Canada’s untapped female wealth, we can create a new critical mass of female investors that will drive the next economic wave and make Canada the centre for female-powered capital.With 30 per cent of Alberta’s tech start-ups founded or co-founded by women, our province is well on its way to achieving that critical mass, but our vision is bigger than just Alberta.Female-founded start-ups: By 2030 we want to see the rest of Canada increase the percentage of female-founded start-ups from 13 per cent to Alberta’s 30 per cent.Financing: We want to see Canada increase financing for female-founded start-ups by 30 per cent, year over year.

Fact extraction technology marks certain letters for Mail users - tickets, meeting messages, information about discounts - so that they can be found immediately at the right time. Disco recommendation technology helps Music and Market users to choose a song that suits their mood, or the right product from a variety of similar ones. To search for similar images, Yandex uses its developments in the field of computer vision. In 2011, we launched a machine translation service - one of three similar ones around the world.In order for services and technologies to function, Yandex maintains the largest network of data processing and storage centers in Russia - tens of thousands of servers.

Founders blaze their own trails in the complex jungle of international commerce. They get there faster with the right support. Having worked in a series of successful startups (sold to the likes of Oracle, Facebook and Singtel), our team knows how exhilarating and challenging building a big company can be.​Back then, there were very few venture capital funds in Australia. Our partners had recently returned from the US and were worried breakthrough support was far too hard for Australian founders to access.​Founders thrive when they get more than just money from their investors. Those who go the whole way need investors to join their team, not the other way round. Investors who make introductions to target customers, future staff, and leading international funds when you’re ready. Investors who pitch in when their expertise is needed, and who aren’t there just for shiny investor reports, but also when things get hard.​We’re incredibly proud of the founders Rampersand has backed. We invest early, and we like to follow on. We’re a small team, so there is minimal red tape and no fuss. It’s not about us. We love to hear from founders early, so get in touch today - even if just to get on our radar before you decide to raise.
