There are not nearly enough female investors in early stage businesses.

FAQ
We are keeping our investment thesis loose to accommodate the interests of our LP's in the fund. We would like to look at seed stage opportunities, and are industry agnostic. We will lean more heavily towards US-based companies, however seeing that the professional world is becoming more remote, we will consider international startups as well. We will make investments based on our collective experience, and consider our ability to support the startup on their path to growth.
