RAISE
Female

We equip women-led tech startups with a clear fundraising system: comprehensive resources and templates, curated investor lists, and tailored 1:1 coaching – so you can unlock your full fundraising potential.

Why are we doing this? Although women make up 20% of startup founders, they receive only 5% of VC deals and 1% of VC capital. Raise Female exists to close that gap.

Your path to impactful growth starts here.

OUR FOUNDERS

WHO IS THIS FOR?

EARLY-STAGE FOUNDERS WITH SERIOUS DRIVE

You’ve shipped an MVP, talked to users, maybe even sparked early traction. It’s just the beginning—but you’re thinking big and ready for the next leap.

FOUNDERS BUILDING A COMPANY THAT MATTERS

Diversity, responsibility, and long-term impact aren’t side notes for you – they’re the main point. You’re not just solving problems; you’re shaping a more inclusive, sustainable future.

FOUNDERS WHO BRING SOMETHING OTHERS DON’T

You bring unique insight, lived experience, and hard-won expertise to the table. You’re not here to copy – you’re here to build better: real impact, built to last.
