Women Entrepreneurs

Golden Seeds invests in women entrepreneurs leading early stage high growth companies. Typically, the companies Golden Seeds invests in have a female founder and CEO. However, investments have also been made in companies with women in other C-level positions.

To apply for funding, an application must be completed. Each application is reviewed carefully. If you are not ready yet to apply for funding, you may attend one of our Open Office Hours.

The process for applications is the same regardless of whether an entrepreneur is interested in an investment from the Golden Seeds angel network or from the Fund. The two invest alongside each other.
