Former Facebook sales executive Kelly Graziadei met with 50 investors before deciding to launch her own fund, F7 Ventures. The group is dedicated to backing women-led startups and businesses whose founders come from underrepresented groups by alexrkonrad
The new wave includes new fund leaders like Rosenthal at Leadout Capital and the women of F7 Ventures, whichlate last year. Many don’t look like the stereotypical venture capital investor, an industry still dominated by white males. And because they are pledging to back women-led startups and businesses whose founders come from underrepresented groups, their portfolios shouldn’t either.
Rosenthal had taken up cycling for exercise with her business school classmates, and while at Facebook, she took advantage of off-hour calls with clients in southeast Asia and Europe to train and then enter and win, increasingly competitive races. For two years until 2010, she rode for the TIBCO Professional Women’s Cycling Team. Around that time Rosenthal met her wife, a global pro who raced for Team USA.
Then came the summer of 2017, and Rosenthal’s choice for how she could have the most impact. Reid Hoffman had become a friend and mentor during her stint at Greylock. The billionairebought into Rosenthal’s desire to identify underserved founders who in turn were building companies for those markets. Rosenthal turned to a former colleague she’d hired at Wealthfront, Bennett Surajat, who is of Indonesian descent, to join her as a general partner.
