We typically invest in businesses that meet the following criteria:
* The company has a woman founder who maintains a C-level operating position with the company (usually she is the CEO or COO) * The management team is well rounded and has strong business experience, particularly in the sector in which the product is being placed. * The market size is large enough to present an addressable market of a minimum of $1bn. * The product and the business model are scalable. * The product is in beta (versus alpha) stage of development and has been developed with input from clients or potential clients. * The company has at least one or two paying clients. * There are some tangible barriers to entry for competitors or potential competitors, such as an intellectual property portfolio. * There must be a clear exit strategy. * The company is a C corporation (if you are currently an LLC, you may still apply, but you must be willing to convert to a C corp). * The company’s valuation is typically less than $5m, particularly if it is a pre-revenue company. * Brokers: Please note that we do not work with brokers.
