INVEST IN WOMEN+

As of 2024, PitchBook data shows that startups founded solely by women received 1% or less of the venture capital (VC) funding invested in Europe and the United States.

My direct investment portfolio reflects my values and the change I want to see in the world. I made my first angel investment in 2004, and nearly 21 years later, I have an active portfolio of 15+ companies—almost all founded by women+. Each investment has its own story, but the common thread is the founders: visionary, passionate leaders I believed in and chose to support.
