Focus statement

Their stated focus: "**FOCUS**is on gender-diverse teams with disruptive, scalable business models that use technology to solve real problems." They target technology-driven, B2B opportunities (Information Technology, Enterprise Solutions, Technology, Health and Wellness) in US-registered companies.

Value Add

Longstanding, women-led angel fund with history since 1998 and "more than $10 million in over 50" companies (demonstrated track record).
Operator-heavy managing partners (serial entrepreneurs and senior corporate executives) who are all "involved in the Fund’s investment decisions" and provide hands-on operational experience.
Explicit mandate to invest in women-led / gender-diverse teams — sector-agnostic within tech and health/wellness but focused on B2B scalability.
Emphasis on adding value beyond capital: mentoring, recruiting first hires, opening industry/customer doors, board development and co-investor introductions.
Clear capital cadence and deal-size expectations: typical investments $100,000–$500,000 in $500,000–$2M rounds; preference for no more than 2–3 subsequent rounds and exits within 3–5 years.
Investment structure and geographic constraints are explicit: "Preferred investments are in the form of preferred stock in C corporations" and "US Registered companies only."
Proven exit experience including acquisitions and an IPO (listed exited companies and case studies such as Tactile Medical IPO).
Hands-on syndication capability — they act as a lead/connector to attract other angels and VCs and help structure financing and exits.
