The 98

The 98 is an early stage venture capital firm dedicated to funding technology businesses led by women. Women-led start-ups receive only 2% of venture capital dollars despite generating higher returns on invested capital and quicker exits. The 98 aims to change the funding ratio by providing exceptional women founders with capital, operating expertise and network resources to build great companies and generate superior returns. We are operating executives who work closely with our founders, using our experience to drive unique value. We are leading executives with decades of operating and investing experience, particularly in media, marketing, commerce and data analytics. We leverage our collective expertise to identify and support technology businesses led by women in commerce, media, health and wellness, finance and law.
