Loretta McCarthy defines her role at Golden Seeds as building a movement rather than just running an investment firm, mobilizing hundreds of angels around the shared mission of funding women-led companies after discovering that less than 3% of startup funding was going to women. She combines Fortune 500 C-suite marketing experience from OppenheimerFunds and American Express with her work scaling Golden Seeds' 300+ member angel network and uses the firm's Knowledge Institute to professionalize angel investing itself, positioning herself as an educator of new angels and builder of infrastructure for gender-diverse capital.

Notable Investments
Golden Seeds operates as one of the largest U.S. angel networks investing exclusively in early-stage companies led by women, combining individual angel investors with managed funds under one umbrella and requiring women to hold significant leadership roles in all portfolio companies. The organization functions as both an investor and movement engine, running investor education programs that bring new women into angel investing while providing hands-on operational support that helps female founders access networks and follow-on capital they historically struggle to reach.
