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. 'Under represented' 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.
How will you invest in 1M diverse women entrepreneurs by 2030?
We will have 2 funds - the first $400M to invest small checks to fundable diverse women entrepreneurs the majority of our 1M goal, to help them grow and scale to get more funding and create liquidity through 3 women-led unicorns, the second $100M for follow-on funding to continue to grow our portfolio companies. We invest in diverse women entrepreneurs from pre-seed to Series A, from all sectors, who meet our criteria.
How many diverse women entrepreneurs will you fund per year?
We will fund thousands of women entrepreneurs per year thanks to our global community and partner of partners model.
WHERE WILL YOU FIND 1M fundable women entrepreneurs?
There is no shortage of great fundable companies created and led by diverse women entrepreneurs! Through our partnerships with Global Invest Her and other strategic partners, we will be able to guarantee that we meet our ambitious targets. These women entrepreneurs ARE out there! It's just that many investors just don't see them. We do.
How do you help economies and investors meet the G20 SDG diversity and gender equality goals?
We invest in economic growth and sustainable development and increase gender equality by investing in a large group of companies that VCs don't, helping women entrepreneurs grow their customer base, scale and access next levels of funding - using technology and coalition to do it. Our portfolio companies alll work on and measure impact on at least 1 SDG. We will help governments and institutional investors know where to invest more accurately in this untapped group of founders for greater returns. Be part of our movement!
