Founded in 2000 by tech pioneer Catherine Muther, Astia has remained steadfast in its commitment to creating a more equitable venture capital landscape.
Despite the industry’s ongoing gender imbalance—with less than 10% of VC investments going to companies with at least one woman leader—Astia continues to be a beacon of hope and success for women entrepreneurs around the world.
Currently investing from Astia Fund I - a $32M Series A/B fund that is sector and geography-agnostic.
For twenty years, Astia has carved a unique path to source, screen, and invest in the top-performing companies. Astia’s proprietary Expert Sift™ deal sourcing and screening process is a robust, data-driven methodology that uses best-in-class tools and wisdom-of-the-crowd techniques to eliminate bias. To successfully address the intersectionality of race and gender, Astia established a clear focus on investing in women of color.
Grounded in deep domain expertise, exceptional investment performance, a belief in the value of women as leaders, and a proprietary investment process, Astia invests via a family of funds.
Throughout its twenty years, Astia has paved the way for investors to align human values with investment rigor.
