"This is my favorite question to discuss. I love answering that it is COMPLETELY false! When we were doing our customer discovery process during starting up, (we are a startup ourselves, we are only a year old), we heard a number of people constantly say “oh, you’re going to have a pipeline problem, where are you going to find these women-led companies? There just aren’t enough out there!” We are happy to say that after our national tour, which lasted one year, we have a pipeline of of over 1,500 companies! We have done our due diligence to over 150 of those. From the ones we have done our due diligence on, we have an exceptionally high quality deal flow. One of the interesting things we have seen with women-founded startups is that women are DERISKING these deals for us! These companies have more traction, much higher revenue, better numbers than what we expected in seed-stage companies. We found that a lot of women are waiting a little longer to raise until they are sure they have strong companies with a good base, enough demand, companies that are of true quality. We even have companies at the seed-stage that have 7 figure revenue numbers – and they are just beginning to raise."
