2024 saw a downward trend in the number of female founded startups being funded. Here, at Transform VC, we are dedicated strongly to changing this trend through our continued commitment to impact-driven, deep tech startups founded largely by underrepresented founders.
The needle is not going to shift by simply stating the desire to fund more women, but by concerted efforts to bring women along the entire funding cycle – from the GPs, our investors, our fellows and interns and, finally, the founders. By having women at every step of the cycle, we are ensuring that a female perspective is heard, platformed and valued.
We meet weekly to discuss how we can continue to transform our deal analyses processes and our engagements to make sure we are representing HERPerspective.
The women already in our ecosystem are an inspiration to anyone within the world of VC and beyond. They are each trailblazers and strong representatives of Transform’s core values;

Last year, Rama spoke at length about Venture Capital from her perspective. She continues to challenge every one of us at Transform when we are analyzing deals, preparing for our roadshow and beyond. Her leadership is a strong example of why women in VC matter, and how they can and continue to change the narrative.
