Who We Fund
Founders
Beyond Silicon Valley, underrepresented in venture capital, and misfits with something to prove. We back purposeful disruptors driven by grit, resilience, and a vision to change the world.
Customers
Companies that are built to serve women, families, and caretakers. Unsexy industries, overlooked workers, and underserved populations in flyover regions.
Insights
We like companies tackling the challenges faced by everyday people, use AI to make work more human, and focus on creating—not displacing—jobs.
FAQ
We invest between $25,000 and $400,000 depending on the company stage and round size.
We invest in pre-seed and seed rounds.
At this time, we are only able to invest in companies that are primarily domiciled in the United States and Canada. This includes both where they are incorporated, and where the majority of their employees reside.
Fill out this form and let us know you are looking for funding. All companies that qualify are also automatically invited to join our founder community, which is managed separately from the fund.
You can expect to hear from us within two weeks. If you’re selected for further review, we will schedule an initial meeting with you to learn more about your team and company. The full investment process will move from there. We are a very small team looking at a large number of opportunities, and we strive to honor your time by giving your application our full attention.
Unfortunately, due to the volume of applications, we are unable to provide feedback to everyone. If we meet with you once or more and ultimately decline to invest, we offer feedback if and only if you specifically ask for it. We ask that you complete and send us a self-evaluation prior to your feedback meeting to enrich the conversation.
Our current fund is fully closed. To invest in future funds, syndicates, and co-invest in companies visit the investors page.
Of course! Graham & Walker started out as a founder community – the Female Founders Alliance – which to this day is the largest community of venture-backed female founders in North America. We welcome every VC-backed and VC-backable startup to join (for free!), take advantage of all the resources, benefit from our founder programs, and meet and support other founders to make the journey much less lonely. To join, you can check the box “I’d like to join the community” when you fill out this form.
Our Limited Partners (LPs)
Where money comes from is just as important as where it’s invested. Our LPs (that’s VC speak for those who invest in a fund) are a diverse group of super smart investors who believe in our investment thesis AND in our mission.
