Investor

As an Angel/VC investor, Sacha is currently actively involved in start-ups such as FÉST, Vastari London and Ilost. What these companies have in common is that they are all founded by women. Sacha invests, as she herself says, ‘through a gender lens’.

Tried and tested through her own experience and vision, this is one of the preconditions she sets for companies looking for an investment partner. It’s no coincidence she is also active as an investor in the private equity funds of Karmijn and Borksi. And she is chairperson of the investment committee of The Next Women Fund and SheCredit,  networks that help female entrepreneurs.
