Women-focused funds
VC funds that back women founders on purpose
Plenty of generalist funds write cheques to women. These are the ones whose stated mandate centres on them, funds that go looking for women-led companies rather than waiting for them to show up. Short list, deliberately: we only tag a fund women-focused when the thesis is explicit.
