Rogue Women's Fund

What is Rogue Women's Fund?

Rogue Women's Fund is a venture capital firm headquartered in Portland, OR, United States. They focus on early-stage and seed investments, specifically in women-led technology startups across the United States.

They specialize in investing in B2B SaaS, Enterprise, and B2B2C software companies. With an average check size of $500K, they can lead or join a funding round and provide hands-on support to founders in building venture scalable, impactful businesses. Their investment portfolio includes sectors such as women's health, the care economy, experience tech, and foundational industries.

They invest in companies that are incorporated in the US and are at the early seed stage with valuations under $10 million. Rogue Women's Fund has a fundamental value of propelling more money into the hands of women, underpinning the belief that 'Money is Power.' They not only invest but also share the profits of their fund with every founder they invest in. The fund argues that despite 42% of all US businesses being founded by women, only 2.8% of all venture funding goes to these startups.

They believe in the disproportional success rate of women-led companies and aim to rectify this bias in the market. Additionally, they offer unique benefits such as paid executive coaching, personal financial coaching, and subsidized childcare in partnership with KinderCare.

Rogue Women's Fund differentiates itself in the venture market by being hands-on, leading investments across various US regions outside the major hubs, and having a track record of success, claiming that their partners have returned approximately 3x net on at least two funds. They invite investors to back the future of women-led innovation by investing with them to drive growth and make a positive impact on the venture landscape. Over 50% of their limited partners are women or women-led institutions.
