We’re searching for a Fund Manager! Check out the job description here.

Female-founded startups have a higher success rate, but only receive less than 2% of Global VC funding.

These founders are funded in the pre-seed stage by angel investors who are women but have challenges raising later-stage funds (managed by men) because of this.
