Giving a voice to those that don’t fit the mold

At Findicate, we invest in women-led or women-focused startups and let the traction speak for itself.

Women are massively underrepresented in the tech ecosystem

Only 2% of venture capital funding goes to women founders each year.

We envision a future with an equitable funding for women founders & equitable social empowerment of women.

We see a future where women and men have equal access to finance and tools to improve lives, and equal seat and respect at the table.

Why We Exist

We believe that women are outstanding entrepreneurs who have extraordinary grit and perseverance, but are underrepresented and underinvested in the technology sector. We are here to support women founders & allies that are improving society for women.

Who We Are

We are a community that provides resources in early funding, collective know-how, and regional network to help founders build impactful businesses that empower and enable the lives of women. Our community is made up of women and allies, including startup founders, operators, and investors, who care about bridging the funding gap for women-led/focused startups.
