“She’s Independent has been a valued investment partner, backing our team early on and then again through a follow-on check, and helping connect us with other potential investors at multiple pitch opportunities.

We’re so grateful to have them as investors as we build and further scale our business.”

A seat on the investor sideFounders join our investor community too. Some come to learn how investing works, some to participate in deals, and some to stay closer to the venture ecosystem and how investors think. See membership

If you’re raising

Pre-Seed through Series A. That’s where we typically allocate.

We look for real product and market expertise, proof you can execute, and a market big enough to scale into. We’re industry agnostic, though healthcare, sustainability and environmental deals draw the strongest interest from our members.

The founder deck covers the rest: how we screen, Pitch Day, diligence, and how the check comes together. See the founder deck ›
