Anu Duggal deliberately frames her inexperience in new sectors as a superpower that fuels curiosity and fearlessness, an approach shaped by her international upbringing across multiple countries and her transition from wine bars in India to venture capital in New York. As one of the very few female solo GPs managing over $100 million, she focuses on legacy and impact as an investment lens, asking founders to consider how their companies will open doors for future generations of women rather than just near-term metrics.
What they've been talking about across their social media accounts

- Championing female entrepreneurship and closing the gender funding gap. She frequently shares data-driven reports analyzing capital raised by women, celebrating specific milestones like record numbers of female-founded unicorns or women-led IPOs.
- A specialized focus on women's health and family care innovation. She actively discusses investing in historically overlooked areas like menopause, breast cancer, and preventive medicine, often highlighting the success of portfolio companies like Maven Clinic as they reimagine patient care.
- Advocating for broader diversity and equity within the venture capital ecosystem. She consistently highlights the importance of backing BIPOC founders and supporting minority-led firms, often pointing out systemic discrepancies in how easily different demographics can access capital compared to their peers.
- Exploring the intersection of consumer technology and inclusivity, particularly in Web3. She has expressed strong interest in ensuring gender representation in the next generation of the internet, evidenced by her enthusiasm for communities like Boss Beauties and women-led NFT projects.
- Sharing educational resources on leadership and scaling businesses. She regularly promotes conversations with successful founders through her podcast, The Two Percent, and recommends books that offer insights into female leadership styles and evolving workplace norms.

Notable Investments
Female Founders Fund was one of the first institutional early-stage VC funds in the U.S. to invest exclusively in female-founded tech companies, launching this thesis in 2014 and proving its financial viability by fully returning its first $5.85M fund through exits like Maven Clinic and Eloquii. Unlike typical "check + advice" funds, FFF has built a highly visible founder-centric media and events platform—including podcasts, CEO Summits, and thought-leadership reports—while taking a contrarian approach by backing founders without traditional VC markers like elite schools or famous co-investors.
