Investment thesis

True Wealth Ventures is an Austin-based, early-stage venture capital fund that invests exclusively in women-led companies whose core value proposition is improving environmental and/or human health. The firm's thesis is grounded in data showing that women-led companies financially outperform their male-led counterparts while utilizing less capital, yet remain a largely untapped market — with only ~2% of venture dollars historically flowing to all-female founding teams. True Wealth Ventures employs a gender-lens strategy, requiring at least one woman of significant decision-making authority on the founding or C-level executive team. The fund targets capital-efficient companies capable of reaching acquisition exits of $100M+ within 3–5 years, and pursues a secondary mission of maximizing women as LPs, with over 80% of its limited partners identifying as women.

Notable quotes

While our primary mission continues to be getting early-stage capital to female founders whose core value proposition is improving environmental or human health, our secondary mission has been to facilitate more women investing into this asset class as LPs.
