About the firm:
être Venture Capital invests in seed stage critical technologies with large market potential developed in the US by diverse teams. We:
Fill two gaps: Venture capital overlooks or undercapitalizes women and minority founders, and manufacturing startups at seed.
Lead seed stage rounds: We unlock capital from investors who wait on the sidelines.
Founder support: We validate founders’ technology and business model, increasing the likelihood of raising next rounds and commercialization.
Education/Network: Our inclusive VC ecosystem provides dealflow and de-risks portfolios for fund managers, limited partners, founders, talent, and service providers.
Portfolio: Obatala Sciences, Portico Care, Hexas Biomass, Hampr
All are female-led, promoting individual health, environmental health, and economic opportunities.
We invest in vital technologies while receiving favorable deal terms and outsized return potential ahead of mainstream capital.
