We leverage philanthropic capital, partnerships, and purpose to bridge the gender financing and gender data gaps - and drive sustainable growth for all.
We are an endowment-backed fund supporting women in leadership positions and organizations working to address a gender data gap.
We seek to help close the significant funding gap for women in the early stage investment landscape in the U.S.A., Latin America, and Africa. We back impact-focused small and growing women-owned startups in the pre-seed and seed stages. We provide flexible, higher-risk capital through equity investments and loans.
We offer organizational mentorship and advisory services to support women-owned start-ups to access funding or scale their offering, and thrive in their industries to become leaders and decision-makers in their fields. We provide this as a by-product of our investments to nurture mutually beneficial partnerships.
We provide support to entities that promote the mission of Investress and through which we can amplify our impact. This includes support for gender-focused organizations, women's education and leadership initiatives, and data collection and differentiation on issues that particularly affect women.
