We back the female founders building the future.

01 about

We're building the world in which we want to see our kids grow. A world where they're free to be curious and dream and experiment and feel. A world where, no matter what they look like, all kids can point to heroes that look like them. A world where their stories are celebrated. A world where the only thing holding them back from their dreams is how far they're willing to reach.

02 investment thesis

We believe the future is female.​

  1. We back early-stage companies (pre-seed, seed, series A) with at least one founder who identifies as female.​

  2. Our typical first check size is $125k-$500k.

  3. We back companies who, when they win their markets, will be a force for good in this world.

  4. We invest in US-based companies across all sectors, but have a specific interest in digital health, enterprise SaaS, fintech, consumer software, and climate.

    The funding gap is real, and we're going to help put a dent in it.

03 portfolio companies

We’re the lucky ones.

Our founders are FORCES. We feel so damn lucky to be a part of their journeys. We look for relentless. For hustle. For grit. Not just grit on paper. But real grit. One hundred no’s before your first yes grit. We look for compassion and empathy and badass founders who dream ridiculous dreams. We back storytellers and connectors and scientists and immigrants and extraordinary female founders building companies that others probably think are insane. We think it’s just right.

04 process

  1. We have a solo GP structure.

  2. We’re open, honest, and provide quick feedback if we want to move forward or not (and why).

  3. Typically we’ll meet 2-3 times before making an investment: initial meeting, deep dive, and any follow up questions. We’ll also review your data room and do material diligence within our close and extended networks.

  4. We are diligent and thorough, but we move quickly. We typically get to a “yes” or “no” within one week of our first meeting, and then work out details with the founder on allocation and timing to close.

  5. We spin up an SPV for each of our investments.

  6. We have your back. We can take our pro-rata (or super pro-rata) in future rounds. We’re able to fund our portfolio companies at any stage as they grow.

  7. Beyond our checks, we have deep operational experience and connections in the startup and investor communities. We’re all-in with you, whether it’s a go-to-market strategy session or an introduction to your next lead investor.
