Since 2018, we have invested in over 260 startups to accelerate their growth. What makes us special is our focus on building visionary companies.
We typically invest in pre-seed and seed stage startups that have a product, a go to market strategy and a potential for high growth. Most of our startups are minority and female founded technology companies. However, we remain industry agnostic and invest in founders from all over the world and from diverse backgrounds.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are important pillars of our community and we strive to improve in every aspect of our organization. Out of our 260 investments, 41% are into female founded/led companies. We rank higher in comparison to the top accelerators in the US, with an average of only 18.8% of their investments being into female founded/led startups.
