Thesis

Reshape the Nasdaq by investing in venture capital's biggest blind spots. Back exceptional founders historically overlooked by traditional VC due to demographic factors or non-traditional backgrounds. Leverage proprietary Female Founders Alliance (5,000+ members) as deal flow engine to surface underestimated founders across multiple archetypes.

Likely not a fit for

No assholes. Will not work with founders/teams lacking integrity or values alignment. Not interested in pure hype or trend-chasing.

Coalition Operators$250K–$1M

Pre-seed and seed investor run by three active founders (from Cityblock Health, Tribe AI, and Angi), placing top women operators on cap tables to provide hands-on marketing, revenue, ops, product and engineering support without dilution. The fund ($12.5M) was built specifically to fix cap tables by systematically placing top women operators as angels and advisors, turning the cap table itself into a designed support system.

GingerBread Capital$250K–$5M

GingerBread Capital is a $50 million fund that operates as a women-investing-in-women platform. The fund backs female founders while building networks of high-net-worth women as check-writers and serving as an LP in 25+ emerging funds led by women and underrepresented managers. GingerBread positions investing in women as a contrarian alpha thesis, arguing that women-led companies are stronger due to being hardened by underfunding. The fund also systematically teaches women how to become investors themselves.
