Less than 3% of VC dollars go to women founders. Here is who’s actually doing something about it: • @SerenaVentures, @serenawilliams (San Francisco, CA) • @BBGVentures, @smlyne (New York, NY) • @fcubedvc, @anuduggalnyc (New York, NY) • @HalogenVC, @JesseDraper (Los Angeles, CA) • @Portfolia1,@trishcostello1 (San Francisco, CA) • @rethinkimpact, @abramsonjenny (New York, NY) • @RogueWomenVC, @carolinejlewis (San Francisco, CA) • @ChingonaVC, @SamaraMHernandz (Chicago, IL) • @Backstage_Cap, @ArlanWasHere (Los Angeles, CA) • @GingerBreadCap (Menlo Park, CA) • @OpCo_VC,@mallun (Palo Alto, CA) • @MoxxieVentures, @KatieS (San Francisco, CA) Women rise together 🫶 P.S. Female founders sometimes get scrutinized twice as hard in due diligence. Your data room can’t give them a reason to say no → Build today @ThePageform

Brand Builders: early, concentrated, thesis-locked. @sonomabrands, @SelvaVentures, @silascapital, @powerplantvc, @HalogenVC, @Springdale_V, BFG, Monogram, Coefficient. Small AUM, 100% consumer. The ones underwriting taste, not TAM slides.

SIGNAL: @HalogenVC surpasses 100 female-founded investments.Portfolio momentum: @babylist nearing $1B in sales and eyeing an IPO. @metropolis on TIME's Most Influential Companies list. @skyfireai raised an $11M seed round. @VenusAerospace named a finalist for the Robert J. Collier Trophy. Seven Halogen founders landed on Inc.'s Female Founders 500 list. Watch the full DeFiance Daily breakdown 🎥

this is just awesome!

Women-led innovation is scaling fast. Halogen Ventures (@HalogenVC) says its female-founded portfolio companies have now raised more than $2B in follow-on funding. Spanning consumer tech, health, mobility, and automation, the milestone signals growing investor confidence in women-led companies moving from early traction to real-world scale. What this means for venture capital. 👇

I've backed some incredible founders over the years. But watching my son @AdamDraper raise $87,654,321 for Boost VC's fourth fund? That hits different. VC is our family trade. It's what we do. And Adam? He's not riding coattails. He dropped out of UCLA. Built his own thing. Pivoted when it didn't work. Started @BoostVC from scratch. 13 years later: - First two funds returning 2.15x and 4.35x DPI - Portfolio includes @Coinbase and @Colossal Biosciences - Averaging a deal a week with a 90% referral rate - Seeded @RadiantNuclear in a 20-minute first meeting (they just closed $165M Series C) Four generations now. From my grandfather William in 1959 to Adam today. Adam was asked about nepotism. He said, “It is not nepotism. If my dad was a farmer, I would be a farmer, maybe a better one.” That's a craft being refined and passed down through the generations. In addition to son Adam Draper, @JesseDraper runs @HalogenVC. @Billy_Draper runs Path Ventures. The trade continues.

We cute <3
