INVESTING IN HIGH-PERFORMING, WOMEN-LED COMPANIES

Currently investing from Astia Fund I - a $32M Series A/B fund that is sector and geography agnostic.

For twenty years, Astia has carved a unique path to source, screen and invest in the top performing companies.  Astia’s proprietary Expert Sift™ deal sourcing and screening process is a robust, data-driven methodology that uses best-in-class tools and wisdom-of-the-crowd techniques to eliminate bias. To successfully address the intersectionality of race and gender, Astia established a clear focus on investing in women of color. 

Grounded in deep domain expertise, exceptional investment performance, a belief in the value of women as leaders and a proprietary investment process, Astia invests via a family of funds.

Throughout its twenty years, Astia has paved the way for investors to align human values with investment rigor.

Understanding the fundamentals of change, Astia has built an institution to last. Through a variety of investment vehicles, Astia enables investment at all stages of private company growth.

With an acute understanding of the unique challenges of high-growth, Astia ensures portfolio success. We are entrepreneur-centric and hands-on.

By investing with Astia, Limited Partners expand their legacy of impact.

Founded by tech pioneer Catherine Muther in 1998, Astia has never wavered from its fundamental commitment to level the investment playing field. Still today, less than 10 percent of VC investments are made into companies that include even one woman leader.

We believe in investment as a force for change.

In a tightening VC market and higher interest rate economy, breaking through the "friends and family" round to secure big A-Round funding has become more challenging.

In our second season's debut episode, we've partnered with Johnnie Walker of Rooled, startup finance experts offering outsourced accounting and CFO services. This series delves into how ventures secure funding today, featuring conversations with investors and founders.

At the forefront of the A-Round discussion is Victoria Pettibone, Chief Investment Officer at Astia. Her firm, recently launched the #AstiaVentureFund, aiming to support female-led companies in securing crucial Series A & B funding rounds. Currently, only 3% of venture capital investment goes to women entrepreneurs.

#WomensHistoryMonth #Rooled #TheAngelNest #Astia

This past Friday we celebrated International Women’s Day by hosting our second annual Astia Fund I LP Meeting at the beautiful MacArthur Place in Sonoma CA. The conversations were inspiring, illuminating and intimate, and revolved around the theme of the day: Building Tomorrow Through Innovation. By tomorrow, we mean a more equitable, healthier, safer, cleaner, better tomorrow. We did not set out to create an impact fund per se, but we did set out to solve significant problems with massive markets…not only because that makes us excited to wake up and get to work every morning, but also because we fundamentally believe that solving these problems through innovation is highly profitable for all involved. Thank you to our portfolio CEOs for your openness, honesty, vulnerability and wisdom. I am so honored to stand behind your vision. You ARE making tomorrow better: Catherine Berman Analisa Goodin Lauren Gropper Maya Hardigan Niquette Hunt Amy King Sylvia S. Kwan, CFA, CAIA Christine Moseley Oriana Papin-Zoghbi Tanya Van Court

And thank you to the formidable Malia Cohen, State Controller of CA, for your powerful keynote and all you are doing to make tomorrow better.
