Helen Oldham: Why Women Angels Are Transforming the Future of Female Founders

When it comes to entrepreneurship, access to capital is everything. Yet, for decades, women founders have faced barriers in securing investment. Helen Oldham, co-founder of Lifted Venture, is changing that.

In her role, Helen has built the only organisation of its kind in England outside of London, women investors backing female founders. This isn’t just about money. It’s about creating equality in the investment ecosystem and ensuring women-led businesses thrive.

Helen explains how angel investing can be accessible and rewarding, thanks to the UK’s Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS), which offers investors up to 50% tax relief. For her, it’s simple: “You’re investing in female founders rather than giving it to the taxman.”

It’s a win-win. Founders gain essential capital. Investors back innovation and diversity. And society benefits from stronger, more inclusive businesses.

Helen Oldham - Providing strategic frameworks and operational rigour for Northern based Boards. Passionate abouthelping female founders to get the funding they deserve and getting unemployed women into work.Curious about the world, people and always creating time to have fun.

A keen Airwoman, my work extended beyond the military, partnering with the NHS on frontline ambulances to deliver life-saving care and of course Babies! Oh, and I also have a diploma in pharmaceutical sciences making me a legal Drug dealer—and a random bus license—because why not? Did I mention Normal is boring?

I’m also a proud mum, to a set of Awesome twins, let’s be real they are often called the other A- word, because that’s what kids are sometimes! As if life wasn’t busy enough with my Family and Business, I am also a reservist for 612 Medical RAuxAF Squadron. It’s a role that keeps me connected to my roots and reminds me of the incredible power of teamwork and resilience, and I love it!

Where did RejuvaLux come from? In 2019, when taking part in a phlebotomy refresher course, I was introduced to the incredible aesthetic benefits of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). What began as a curious accident quickly grew into a passion for educating people about how their bodies can heal and rejuvenate naturally.
