Raising the
Volume.
Boosting the power of women leaders for greater output.
Amplifyher is an early-stage venture capital fund investing in exceptional women:
The teams we invest in boast visionary founders who recognize that diverse viewpoints and perspectives accelerate innovation.
In 2017, 2% of VC dollars went to female founders and 12% went to gender-mixed teams. As value investors, we don’t see women-led startups as under-funded, we see them as untapped.
Women make up 27% of SVPs and only one in five C-Suite leaders. <5% of CEOs.
We are at an inflection point for female empowerment in venture. The conversation of gender parity is at its prime, but the number still show a significant gap in financing. Let’s change that.
Amplifyher makes this conversation actionable by arming outstanding women with the resources and capital they need to build their own C-suites.
