Capital F, a venture capital firm uniquely led by women, announced the $17 million close of its first fund. The firm focuses its investments on companies operating within the 'female economy,' identifying three key sectors: women's health, digital commerce, and AI tools. The co-founders, Margaret Coblentz and Dawn Dobras, established the firm after realizing the underrepresentation of women in executive roles.
Nearly 80% of Capital F's limited partners are women, including prominent figures like Jenny Ming and Marta Benson. The firm intentionally engages women in the investment process, hosting events to encourage participation. They back early-stage companies, typically investing between $250,000 and $1 million. The firm anticipates deploying the entire fund by the end of 2027.
