Investment thesis

Emmeline Ventures invests in female founders building game-changing companies focused on advancing women's agency over their health, wealth, and their ability to live in a safer, cleaner world. The firm seeks systemic change and core 're-wiring' across sectors including women's health, femtech, fintech, wellness, consumer, and sustainability. Beyond capital, Emmeline partners with portfolio companies and a broader founder community to offer capital-raising support, pitch deck reviews, and tailored strategic, operational, and business consulting. The firm frames its mission around correcting the underfunding of female founders and building for the future its namesake symbolizes.
