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.

The Band of Angels is Silicon Valleys oldest seed funding organization. We are a formal group of more than 150 former and current high tech executives who are interested in investing their time and money into new, cutting edge, startup companies. Weve seeded over 277 companies in our history with 61 profitable M&A exits and 11 IPOs. Band members have founded companies such as Symantec, Logitech, and National Semiconductor and been senior executives at the likes of Sun Microsystems, Hewlett Packard, and Intuit. The Band meets monthly to formally consider three startups selected from among the more than 50 that are screened each month by the Band Deal Selection Process. Entrepreneurs can expect a thorough examination and, occasionally, an investment from some of Silicon Valleys most accomplished entrepreneurs.
