CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
No public data on acceptance rates, but the fund targets a specific and underserved niche, so qualified women-led revenue-generating tech startups face a more focused applicant pool than general VC.
Masters Fund takes a board seat on every portfolio company, which signals they make selective, hands-on investments rather than high-volume bets.
WHAT IT TAKES
Confirm eligibility: women in strategic control, tech company, existing sales — 1–2 hours
Submit application via the Masters Fund website — 1–3 hours
Engage in due diligence and board seat discussion if selected — Weeks to months
WORTH KNOWING
Funding is structured as convertible notes with revenue-based payment schedules, so repayment scales with your revenue rather than on a fixed timeline—founders keep more equity than with traditional VC.
