SISTAFUND is a pan-European VC fund backing female founders and gender-balanced teams, building companies that challenge the status quo.
With a target of €100 million, SISTAFUND will be deployed from pre-seed to Series A, mainly in France and Europe, with some investments in the U.S.
SISTAFUND’s ambition is twofold:
Drive the performance of backed companies, since start-ups founded or co-founded by women are 2.5 times more profitable investments than others (BCG study, 2018).
Accelerate a new generation of diversified leaders, by supporting start-ups with at least one female co-founder
We focus on four key themes:
Fintech,
Healthtech,
Frontier tech and,
Sustainability startups.
Initiated by Tatiana Jama, co-founder of SISTA, and later on joined by Isabelle Gallo, the fund is powered by a community of leading French entrepreneurs. These include Steve Anavi (Qonto), Jean Daniel Guyot (MemoBank), Nathalie Balla (La Redoute), Adrien Nussenbaum (Mirakl), Clément Buyse (PeopleDoc), Nicolas Hernandez (360Learning), Céline Lazorthes (Leetchi, Resilience) and Jonathan Benhamou (PeopleDoc, Resilience). SISTAFUND's first closing includes LPs from the French entrepreneurship community and three companies focused on gender equality: BNP Paribas, FDJ Group and L'Oréal.

The Fund's Management Company, SUNSHINE, is a SAS with a registered office at 1-3 rue d'Enghien, 75010 Paris, RCS Paris n°983 158 023, approved by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers as a portfolio management company under the number GP-20240015 since July 23rd, 2024.
