BBG Ventures is a seed and pre-seed venture fund leading investments in female or diverse founders who are uniquely qualified to build for our polycultural future - it was one of the first funds to put a stake in the ground around backing overlooked founders in 2014. These founders are bringing new thinking to sectors where change is overdue, such as healthcare, future of work, fintech, climate and consumer, solving problems for millions of Americans via B2B and B2C business models. BBG Ventures has invested in over 100 female-led companies over three funds. 100% of Fund III companies have a female founder; and 70% have a founder of color. Notable BBGV investments include Spring Health, KiwiCo, Zola, Hopskipdrive, Canela Media, Starface, Supercircle and Topline Pro.
