FAQ

Why focus only on women entrepreneurs?

Because we believe that women entrepreneurs are the greatest untapped catalyst to re-ignite the global economy. Til now, they've only gotten 2% of venture funding and only 14-20% of business angels to date are women. We are on a mission to fight the bias and show that funding women entrepreneurs is a fantastic way for investors to get greater financial returns, grow sustainable businesses and grow economies.

what do you mean by Diverse, Underrepresented?

Our definition of diversity is 100% inclusive - we will fund women entrepreneurs who are black, brown, indigenous, from the LGBTQ+ communities, living with disability, from different cultures and age groups. 'Underrepresented' to us, means founders who have been chronically overlooked for funding for too long, who identify and solve specific problems for communities that are often hidden from classical investors point of view.
