About
Today, women represent only a small fraction of venture capital investors and recipients, and we believe in a future where talent and great ideas are the qualifying factors considered for funding. With our strategic approach, connections and resources, we seek to redefine the culture of investing, empower future female leaders, and achieve transformational impact.
Led by Sachiko Kuno and Sheila C. Johnson, the consortium’s members invest in a female-founded venture capital firm called Rethink Impact, which is led by D.C.-based Managing Partner Jenny Abramson and San Francisco-based Partner Heidi Patel.
