European female founders didn’t let up in November, pulling in fresh capital after October’s strong showing as investors bet on AI tools, personalised meds and battery recycling tech.
Among the early-stage highlights, UK solo founder Phoebe Gormley landed a £3 million pre-seed for Fit Collective, her AI fashion sizing platform that’s already cutting returns by 30% in pilots with brands. Midlands healthtech Rem3dy Health scooped £1.4 million from Borski Fund and Future Planet Capital to scale its 3D-printed personalised pills that mix multiple drugs into one dose. Germany’s dotega, meanwhile, grabbed €1.3 million in pre-seed to digitise management for small homeowners’ associations.
Meanwhile, Adaptronics raised €3.15 million for electrostatic grippers that could make industrial robots far more dexterous and cheap to deploy across factories. Euler, building AI to spot defects in 3D prints, closed a €2 million seed round. And Einride’s $1.8 billion SPAC prep, with deputy CEO Linnéa Kornehed shining.
In collaboration with Female Foundry and the Female Innovation Index, TFN continues to celebrate women entrepreneurs shaping the future of tech across Europe.
