They invest in capital-efficient, high-performing, women-led technology companies that have been systematically passed over by traditional venture funding, with checks from $100K to $1M. The firm differentiates itself through a founding group of senior women operators, lawyers, and executives, and an LP base including four of Canada's five largest banks and all four Atlantic Canadian provinces.
