We’re on a mission to amplify the work, messaging, and impact of outstanding female founders and organizations who share our vision of a gender inclusive world.
OUR IMPACT >
How We Drive Systemic Change
Our approach is simple. We focus on finding and funding outstanding female innovators, strengthening the ecosystem that supports them, and collaborating and partnering with like-minded organizations and individuals.
How We Fund
We fund and support for-profit and non-profit entities through our investment arm and Donor-Advised Fund (DAF). Any earnings are returned to the fund for re-investment.
Catalytic, impact-first venture capital
We seek to help close the significant funding gap for women in the early stage investment landscape in the U.S.A., Europe, Latin America, and Africa. We back impact-focused early-stage women-owned startups through equity and debt, aiming to address the “missing middle” funding that too often stifles their growth.
Our approach utilizes venture capital philanthropy as a risk-tolerant, impact-first method to support solutions overlooked by the market, providing patient, catalytic, and working capital that meets the founder where she is and assists in de-risking investments for co-investors and/or follow-on investors.
Limited Partnerships
We are also a fund of funds that provides seed, working, and bridge capital to first-time, small female fund managers, and those who are taking an innovative approach that will have a ripple effect on the otherwise male dominated fund and VC space.
Grants
We provide grants to start-ups where they can be catalytic, and to non-profit organizations and other entities engaged in research, advocacy, and data collection to make the needs of women more visible. This includes support for gender-focused organizations, entrepreneurship, and leadership initiatives, research and data collection on issues that particularly affect women.
