Generating Meaningful Returns

We want the world to see that you can drive progress without sacrificing profits.

We’re out to prove that investing in overlooked founders and fund managers isn’t just better for society—it’s smart strategy that can unlock enormous returns.

To find opportunities others are missing, we’ve developed a process focused on performance potential—not outdated archetypes of who’s been successful in the past. We aim to commit capital early to help attract other investors, getting more investment capital in new hands.

Our Investment Strategy

Supporting Mission-Aligned Companies

We invest in series A to B companies developing bold solutions to issues that impact women’s economic power and overall well-being—including caregiving, women’s health, and financial access.

Breaking Down Barriers in Venture Capital

We are making big bets on a new generation of fund managers whose vision and potential we believe in.

Powering a More Inclusive Economy

Our investments aim to address market failures that constrain women’s power and influence and pave the way for a better, more inclusive financial system.
