UNIQUE ARBITRAGE OPPORTUNITY:
INVESTING IN WOMEN

“Our fund continues to benefit from the talent and success of our women-led companies. We’re proud that in total, we have placed approximately 35% of our invested capital into their businesses and continue to reap the returns. In 2021 alone, public companies acquired two of our women-led startups. These acquisitions underscore the value being created by our founders and their ability to grow world-class technology companies.”
Ollen Douglass

“Our continued outperformance as GPs invested into female founders will help us close the gender venture investment gap. The fund business is tough, but we must remain steadfast. I recall the difficulty raising our first fund during the last Global Financial Crisis. While we were underestimated, our value proposition of cleantech and sustainability was clear, and with the right targeting of aligned corporates and institutions, we built a strong foundation for the firm you see today.”

“The joy of Beyond The Billion, is now you’re addressing the next problem. With innovative managers identified with ways to mobilize capital into women, the next question is, how do we get capital into those managers to get it into women’s pockets, instead of the same people who have been funded in the past?”
Kamal Hassan

“For a fund like ours, this was an easy decision to make a pledge to Beyond The Billion. While we don’t have a specific target requirement between types of founders or leaders for the fund, if we ended up with a working pipeline that was exclusively male, we should ask ourselves why that is and look into our deal sourcing, deal evaluation and other processes. Since we are working closely with Grand Challenges Canada, a signatory on track to achieve its target, we know it's possible!”

Beyond The Billion (The Billion Dollar Fund For Women) Copyright © 2018 - 2024

TBDF Ventures LLC (TBDFV), the organizer of Beyond The Billion (BTB), is a company serving the global consortium of investors pledged to invest beyond $1bn collectively into women-founded technology companies and funds and firms that invest in them. BTB builds on the success of The Billion Dollar Fund for Women, the initial campaign co-founded by our founders. BTB is not a venture fund, an investment bank, a broker-dealer, investment clearinghouse, or an investment adviser, but rather a forum in which investors may be educated on aspects of investment and business, as well as introduced to companies for possible investment, in particular, those led by women. Each investor and allocator pledged to BTB’s mission is responsible for his or her own investment decisions, and neither TBDFV nor BTB recommends companies or financial products for investment. Participating funds may be highlighted to various institutional and other investors and managers, with the aim of catalyzing capital towards women-founded companies; but are not guaranteed allocations from any specific fund. The Founders of TBDFV and BTB may hold interests directly or indirectly in featured funds and associated companies. Information is obtained from participant funds, believed to be reliable, but is in no way guaranteed by TBDFV or BTB. No guarantee of any kind is implied or possible where projections of future conditions are attempted.
