Overview

Sofia Fund invests in and grows exceptional women-led companies – those with strong leaders and highly compelling business models that are scalable and meet a market need – to maximize returns for investors. Sofia Fund uses a rigorous process for selecting and investing in high-growth opportunities. Its team of professional women angel investors actively manages and supports its portfolio businesses, leveraging deep expertise and broad networks to help women entrepreneurs achieve success. Sofia Fund uncovers and qualifies only the best investment opportunities from thousands of ideas through extensive due diligence and then actively invests to grow its portfolio companies and bring them successfully to profitable exits. The Sofia investment team has a uniquely strategic combination of skills as successful investors and entrepreneurs themselves, having individually invested more than $10 million in 50 companies to date. With a passion for supporting women entrepreneurs, they serve as mentors and guides for Sofia Fund portfolio companies to help them achieve the ultimate success – a profitable outcome for women leaders and their investors. Sofia Fund is changing the trajectory of the investment community to achieve not only parity for women entrepreneurs, but harness the tremendous financial opportunity found in women-led businesses. Research confirms that women-led businesses consistently demonstrate above-average success, generating 20 percent more revenue with 50 percent less investment, than other companies.
