Eileen Burbidge, founding partner at Passion Capital, has been active as an investor and operator in the UK tech sector. In 2024, she described the year as "a great opportunity to back fantastic people and get more attention on things that are undervalued." She has spoken about her involvement with Monzo Bank, which she called the deal she is "most proud of," noting that she went into the company to help with succession and continuity before the pandemic turned it into a full-time role for nine months. Burbidge has also discussed her role as executive director at Fertifa, a reproductive health benefits provider, stating that she deliberately sought a female CEO for the business and that the company processed about £1.5 million in reimbursements in the prior 12 months. Burbidge has commented on the UK tech ecosystem, saying that Brexit "hurt the UK tech scene" and that the prolonged uncertainty created a "huge opportunity cost." She has advocated for greater diversity in venture capital, stating that the sector "has tended to select for certain types of personalities and backgrounds" and that having "a broader cross-section of society writing checks could hopefully help change that."
