At Aurora, every day is Women’s Day, and this one is to save you time on fundraising 😎 If you’re a woman looking for ways to fund your startup in an emerging market, you already know how complex the process can be. Figuring out which investors are aligned with your stage, sector, and region should not take weeks. Yet often, it does. So together with Briter, a global research organization, we mapped investors in emerging markets who actively back women-led companies and publicly demonstrate that commitment through their track record or impact approach. This is a practical tool founders can use to: ● shortlist aligned funds ● prioritise outreach ● sanity-check investor fit ● avoid weeks of wasted pitching If you are building, start here. You’ll find sector focus, stage, ticket size, geography, portfolio patterns, and more, all in one place. If you are investing and actively back women-led startups, we would be glad to hear from you. And if there is a fund that should be on this map but is not yet represented, tag them below. Explore the full Aurora × Briter research and free up time for what matters most: building.  Here’s your link: [https://lnkd.in/em7s98Bc] Happy #IWD, ladies 💅 _____ Many thanks to both the Briter and Aurora teams for their work on this project, especially Ludovica Fioravanti, Laura Carrión, Tamara Loseva, Anastassiya Dmitriyeva, Kseniia Matveeva, Bella Ghassemi-Smith, Nazya Temirkhanova, Sima Piterskaia, Alyona Khon,  and Daria Khoroshikh 🫶 #IWD26
