Investment Thesis

How Women Invest operates on the conviction that women founders represent an undervalued asset class generating superior financial returns while driving transformative innovation. The firm’s investment philosophy is grounded in data showing that women generate 35% greater returns than companies founded by men, yet receive only 1.9% of US venture funding. They view this funding gap not as a challenge but as ‘a boundless opportunity to harness untapped potential and drive superior returns.’ Their approach emphasizes that investing in women is simultaneously ‘good for people, the planet, AND profits.’

What Sets Them Apart

  • 100% exclusive focus on women-founded companies - singular devotion across all three funds
  • Exceptional sourcing network: 70% of deals sourced from internal network of 20,000+ women professionals and partnerships with 85+ VC firms
  • Values-aligned limited partner base: 140+ LPs with 50% of team being women of color and 100% women-led management
  • Founder-centric process emphasizing respect and promptness - 4-6 week review timeline
  • Comprehensive value-add ecosystem providing market access, business development, talent connection, strategic advisory, and promotion through media/events
  • Track record: 80% of portfolio companies successfully raised capital post-investment; 3 exits (Hitch, Long Game, Gaiascope); 30% of Fund I/II are serial entrepreneurs
  • Built-in movement infrastructure through parent organization How Women Lead with 20,000+ network and legislative advocacy
