Portfolia

Portfolia is a U.S. women-led women-focused venture capital investment firm headquartered in Menlo Park, California, pioneering a distinctive gender-lens venture-capital model structured as a series of thematic funds managed for and by women investors who each commit modest minimums (typically USD 10,000+) and collaborate on deal-review and diligence through structured online investor-education and community platforms. The firm was founded by CEO Trish Costello (former CEO of Kauffman Fellows, the premier VC-education-and-network organisation; serial VC-industry thought leader) and operates multiple thematic funds including Portfolia FirstStep, Portfolia FemTech (the first femtech-specialist fund globally), Portfolia Rising America (backing entrepreneurs of colour), Portfolia Active Aging & Longevity, Portfolia FemTech II, FemTech III, Green & Sustainability, Enterprise, and Rising America II, among others. Aggregate AUM across all Portfolia funds is in the USD low-hundreds of millions range, with approximately 1,500+ women members as limited partner investors and a portfolio of 150+ women- and diverse-founder-led companies. Typical initial check sizes are in the USD 250,000 to USD 1.5 million range at seed and Series A. Notable portfolio companies include Lioness Health, Winona, Millie, Allegro, Hello Alpha, Beam Health, and other women-founder-led digital-health, fintech, and consumer technology companies.
