​Please join Alamo Angels for a special evening: VC Primer: Investing in Women presentation by True Wealth Ventures followed by Alamo Angels’ Monthly Pitch Event.

​In the “VC Primer: Investing in Women,” Sara Brand, Ph.D. and Kerry Rupp, General Partners at True Wealth Ventures, will dive into the world of venture capital and explore the unique perspective of investing in women.

​They share insights on the current landscape of female-led startups and the importance of diversity in the investment industry. They then share fundamentals of how the VC industry works - including tips on how to navigate the often male-dominated VC world, how to go about becoming an investor, and key factors to consider when evaluating potential investments. This primer is designed to empower anyone especially women to become investors, and to make informed decisions and support the growth of female entrepreneurship.

​About True Wealth Ventures

​True Wealth Ventures is an early-stage stage venture firm, led by two Austin-based women, Sara Brand and Kerry Rupp.

​The fund invests in women-led companies improving human and environmental health. Their investment thesis is that women-led companies perform better financially, as reported in many studies, yet are an untapped market with approximately 2% of venture dollars going to female-founded start-ups over the last decade.

​True Wealth Ventures was at the vanguard of this movement of women investing in women. Closing their ~$20M Fund I in Jan 2018 made them the largest VC fund ever raised with an exclusive gender-lens investment strategy, and with an unprecedented 80% of LPs identifying as women.
