Golden Seeds was founded in 2004 to level the playing field for women entrepreneurs.
What began as a visionary idea has become a national angel investment network, with 9 chapters and members in 28 states, Washington D.C., and internationally, committed to supporting and funding exceptional U.S.-based women-led startups across all industry sectors.
Golden Seeds has surpassed $200 million invested in women-led companies since our founding in 2004. The milestone represents one of the largest investment totals by any angel network this century and signals continued momentum around advancing gender parity in angel investing.
