Investment thesis
Chai Ventures backs women founders building businesses that solve critical problems and deliver impact at scale across three high-growth themes: a better world, health and wellness, and human connection. The fund concentrates on exceptional women entrepreneurs who have been underestimated, and it takes a full-ecosystem approach to supporting women in venture. It considers women's roles as both capital allocators and recipients, cultivating relationships with emerging and active women check-writers to build broader conviction around investing in women-led startups.
