Rise PropTech aims to benefit from property disruption
The construction industry and real estate are about to change, and so investing in property tech (or proptech) start-ups now is a good investment strategy. That’s the idea behind Rise PropTech Fund.
Female entrepreneurs operate under investors’ radar
Investors are often men, and they usually invest in companies run by men. A vicious circle that the investment fund We Are Jane wants to break. Founded by serial entrepreneur Conny Vandendriessche (centre of the picture) and Gimv veterans Muriel Uytterhaegen (left) and Eline Talboom (right), they invest only in companies led by women, or where the shareholders or management are mostly women. A choice that is anything but philanthropy, because We Are Jane wants to achieve a nice return.
