Female Founders Fund is a seed-stage venture capital firm founded in 2014 that invests exclusively in female-founded companies. Based in New York with deep roots in the female founder ecosystem, the firm has become a leading source of institutional capital for female founders, with over $3 billion in enterprise value across its portfolio. The fund was created on the belief that women will build the companies of tomorrow and operates as a team of female investors and operators who identify opportunities through their unique lens and cultural insight. Female Founders Fund's investment activity extends globally, including significant presence in Africa. The firm has invested across multiple stages, from seed through growth rounds, with a particular focus on fintech companies in Kenya. The fund has backed transformational technology companies including Tala, a digital financial services platform serving emerging markets. Female Founders Fund invests in companies with at least one female founder on the founding team and has the flexibility to lead, co-lead, or participate in funding rounds. Beyond capital deployment, Female Founders Fund has developed an extensive ecosystem of resources and community programming. The firm hosts best-in-class events including quarterly press dinners with top-tier journalists, monthly CEO breakfasts, and the widely acclaimed annual Camp FFF event. The fund maintains a proven track record of follow-on investor relationships with firms including Lightspeed, Sequoia, and Index Ventures, helping portfolio companies prepare for subsequent growth stages.
