Alexa Bruce is a founder I knew I wanted to back from our very first conversations, a deeply technical subject-matter expert who also knows how to spot and convince top-tier talent to join her mission. We want to back more excellent female founders. Yes, our industry is improving, but too many exceptional operators are still under-estimated. I see it every day. If you know brilliant women at the earliest stages of building and thinking about raising, please comment below or put them in touch.
💧 Korra Ventures × TOVA We're delighted to share that Korra Ventures has invested in Tova as part of their SEIS round. We were joined by Alma Angels and other investors backing this critical mission. #Water is becoming the defining climate risk of our generation. By 2030, global water demand is expected to exceed supply by 40%. Yet most organisations are flying blind, reacting to water crises rather than anticipating them. TOVA is changing that. They're building next-generation deep-learning technology that gives organisations the tools to predict and respond to water risks before they become catastrophes. As climate volatility intensifies, this isn't just about sustainability, it's about operational resilience, supply chain security, and community protection. The company is led by two exceptional founders: Alexa Bruce (Co-founder & CEO) and Casey Brown (Co-founder & CSO), who are bringing world-class technical innovation to one of the most urgent climate frontiers. We met Alexa through Techstars, and have supported her over the last few months not just with her fundraise but also as sounding board and KV partner Thomas, also in a mentoring capacity. Why we invested: TOVA sits squarely at the intersection of Korra's investment thesis: systemic impact, and backing underrepresented founders building category-defining solutions. Female founders receive less than 2% of UK venture capital, yet consistently deliver stronger returns. Alexa and Casey are exactly the kind of team we believe in: exceptional operators tackling massive, underserved markets. We're excited to back TOVA and look forward to supporting Alexa, Casey, and the team as they grow their reach and impact (in the photo: Alexa, KV partners Tania, Thomas & Dirk - kindly hosted by Techstars :) #ImpactInvesting #AngelInvestment
Yes Alexa!! ❤️🔥
I know Hanne Grainger is doing something VERY exciting in the tech-sphere!
We need more founders like Alexa Bruce!
Thank you, Georgie! I’m so grateful for your belief and conviction from the very beginning. Founders considering Techstars London: apply. If you want partners who won’t just cheer from the sidelines but will get stuck in and challenge you to raise the bar, run — don’t walk.
