CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
This is a competitive institutional VC fund, not a grant program — only a small number of companies get funded per year.
The portfolio page shows a selective group of backed companies since 2014. Rolling submissions means no fixed deadline competition, but the bar for investment is high.
WHAT IT TAKES
Submit your pitch via the website pitch submission form — 1–2 hours to prepare
Initial review and outreach from the team if there's interest — Weeks to months
Meetings and due diligence with partners — Several weeks
WORTH KNOWING
Female Founders Fund runs Camp FFF and a broader community program — engaging with their events and content before pitching can help get you on their radar organically.
