🚀 Resources for You
Founders
💸 Looking for VCs Who Actually Fund Women? Here’s the List.
After facing too many funding conversations where women were asked questions their male peers wouldn’t be, one founder shared a list of VC funds that genuinely back women. The response was immediate—and powerful.
📬 Dozens of additional funds were suggested
🙋♀️ Several investors reached out to be included
🌍 Founders requested more international and diversity-first options
That initial list has now become a living Google Doc:
👉 Funds for Female Founders
What’s inside:
✔️ VC firms focused on female/diverse founders or with 25%+ female-founded portfolios
✔️ Open for community contributions—spam or incomplete entries are auto-deleted
✔️ Column G (a real female-founded portfolio company) is required for submission
A growing resource for founders, by founders. Share it, use it, contribute to it—because access matters.
Professionals
💼 How Cold DMs Got Me 2 Job Offers (And How You Can Use the Same Template)
After sending hundreds of messages, this cold DM strategy helped land roles in both a growth-stage startup and Big Tech. The secret? A highly targeted, value-driven approach.
✅ Use warm-ish leads (shared schools, industries)
✅ Be specific—reference their background or a post
✅ Make it easy to say yes—offer time slots
Bonus: Tailor your ask to the company type, follow up smartly, and always bring sharp questions.
Cold outreach doesn’t have to be cold—when done right, it opens doors.
