WomensVCFund

Women's VC Fund is a Portland, Oregon-based venture capital firm dedicated to investing in early-stage, revenue-generating, high-growth companies. A core tenet of their investment strategy is a focus on management teams that are inclusive of women, reflecting a commitment to fostering diversity within the startup ecosystem. While industry-agnostic, the fund demonstrates a particular interest in sectors such as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), FinTech, the Future of Work, and HealthTech, seeking out innovative solutions within these burgeoning fields.

The fund primarily targets companies at the Series A and Series B stages, indicating a preference for businesses that have moved beyond the ideation phase and are demonstrating tangible traction and revenue. Their typical first check size ranges from $250,000 to $1,000,000, providing crucial capital for companies looking to scale their operations and accelerate growth. Women's VC Fund also reserves capital for follow-on investments, signaling a long-term commitment to their portfolio companies and a willingness to support their continued evolution through subsequent funding rounds.

Established with a clear mission, Women's VC Fund successfully closed its first fund, Fund I, at $10 million in 2018. Building on this momentum, they further solidified their position in the venture landscape by closing Fund II at $20 million in 2021, effectively doubling their deployable capital. This growth underscores the increasing recognition of the value in their investment thesis and the market opportunity for supporting women-inclusive leadership. The fund's strategic location in Portland allows it to tap into the vibrant Pacific Northwest tech scene while maintaining a national investment scope.
