HeyFlow, a software company founded by a majority female team, has received a significant investment of £235,000 to further its mission of addressing workplace disadvantages faced by women. The investment is a clear indication of growing support for gender equality in the corporate sector.
This funding from Aer Venture Studios will enable the Bristol-based firm to enhance its technology platform and develop a new employee insight product. The goal is to reach more businesses, thereby increasing HeyFlow’s impact on workplace inclusivity.
As part of this investment, Geoff Wells and Tom Harber from Aer Venture Studios will take active roles in HeyFlow’s future, with Wells expected to join the board. Such involvement underscores Aer Venture Studios’ commitment to supporting women-led innovation.
Sophie Creese, Co-Founder of HeyFlow, expressed that the funding reflects early success and validates the company’s mission to promote reproductive health inclusion while narrowing workplace gender gaps. “At a time where only a small percentage of investment goes to female-founded companies, Aer Venture Studios’ belief in HeyFlow sends a clear message that innovative, women-led start-ups are worthy of investment,” shared Creese.
HeyFlow’s new insights platform is designed to transform workplace behaviour, aiming to improve retention and promotion of female talent, enhance profitability, and foster an equitable working environment. With statistics indicating that 31% of women experience severe reproductive health symptoms annually, and significant income disparities post-maternity, the necessity for such solutions is evident.
HeyFlow’s recent funding marks a critical step in advancing workplace gender equality and supports the growth of female-founded enterprises.
