Amplifyher Ventures

Amplifyher Ventures is a New York-based venture capital firm dedicated to investing in early-stage companies founded or co-founded by women. Established in 2018 by co-founders Alison Wyatt and Lisa Stone, the firm addresses the significant funding gap faced by female entrepreneurs, aiming to empower and scale businesses led by diverse talent. Their investment thesis centers on identifying high-growth potential across various sectors, including consumer, enterprise software, and healthcare, with a strong emphasis on disruptive innovation.

The firm has successfully raised two funds, demonstrating its commitment and growing capacity. Their initial fund, Fund I, closed at $10 million, followed by a larger Fund II, which secured $20 million, bringing their total capital under management to $30 million. This capital has been strategically deployed to build a robust portfolio of over 40 companies, showcasing a broad range of promising ventures. Amplifyher Ventures typically targets Seed and Series A rounds, providing crucial early capital to help these businesses achieve significant milestones and attract further investment.

Amplifyher Ventures' investment strategy involves providing initial checks ranging from $250,000 to $1 million. Beyond capital, the firm offers strategic guidance, access to a vast network of industry experts, and operational support, recognizing that financial investment alone is often insufficient for early-stage success. Their hands-on approach and focus on creating a supportive ecosystem for female founders underscore their mission to not only generate strong financial returns but also to drive meaningful change in the venture capital landscape by fostering a more inclusive and equitable entrepreneurial environment.
