How are investors actually finding you?

Female founders are constantly told to network more. Join another community. Attend another event. Find a warm intro.

All of those things can help. But they still put most of the burden on the founder to somehow get in front of the right investor at exactly the right moment.

I’d love to hear from other founders: How much of fundraising feels like proving you’re investable — and how much feels like simply trying to get found in the first place?

A free resource for female founders actively raising capital

Hi everyone — I wanted to share a resource I helped build that may be useful for founders in this community.

One of the biggest challenges we kept hearing from female founders was not just access to capital — it was visibility. Too often, investors are relying on outdated networks, historical data, or the same referral paths to discover companies that are actively fundraising right now.

That’s why we created The Other 80 (https://www.theother80.io/) — a free, founder-first platform designed to increase visibility for women-led companies that are actively raising.

Founders can create a profile, share their fundraising details, and be part of a growing live index of women founders currently in the market.

There’s no cost to join. No fees. No catch. The goal is simple: make it easier for investors, partners, and the broader ecosystem to discover the incredible companies being built by female founders.

If you’re a female founder currently raising (or know someone who is), I’d love for you to check it out and share it with your network:
