Investment Thesis
Copper Wire Ventures was founded on a shared mission to address the significant funding gap for women founders in venture capital. The firm grew out of a partnership between Jessica Millstone (a 25+ year veteran in education technology) and a family office seeking to diversify holdings. With only 2.7% of venture funding going to women founders in 2019, CWV’s core philosophy centers on driving more investment into women-led businesses by providing early-stage capital and strategic support. The firm believes that investing in dynamic female founders in edtech and future of work/learning represents a high-impact approach to both financial returns and systemic change.
