This female group of executives and founders has just closed its Series A round

AllBright, a collective for women to provide tailored training, space and funding for female founders and executives, has just closed its Series A round.

Founded in November 2016 by Debbie Wosskow OBE - founder and former CEO of Love Home Swap - and Anna Jones - former CEO of Hearst UK - AllBright’s Series A round has been led by a Cain International consortium including leading property developer Galliard Homes.

The brainchild of Jones and Wosskow, AllBright’s mission is to become known as the premier destination for female business leaders and executives keen to take their companies and careers to the next level.

Jones said: “With AllBright, we have developed a brand and a mission that people really care about. It has galvanised many who want to see positive change for women… and what we can build for our community as we continue to develop the company.”

Having backed six female-led businesses since launch (including Chiaro and Piccolo), the company has recently launched the AllBright Academy, a digital and in-person educational platform for women wanting to start or scale their own business.

In June and July 2017, AllBright created the inaugural ‘FoundHER’ Festival of Female Founders, bringing together a line-up of over 80 outstanding speakers and 1,000 attendees.

Over the course of six days in London and Manchester, female entrepreneurs and executives including Cath Kidston, Liz Earle, Martha Lane Fox and Sarah Wood took to multiple stages.

After such events, the company is now set to launch spaces in London and Manchester to consolidate this community of women.

Wosskow added: “In the 10 months since AllBright launched, we have begun to build a network for working women that we hope can make the UK a great place for female founders and executives.

“We’re excited for the next stage of scaling up our platform, events and funding over the coming months.”
