Monica Dodi co-founded Women's Venture Capital Fund after discovering that less than 5% of VC went to leadership teams that included any women, organizing a Harvard Business School reunion roundtable that directly led to creating one of the earliest U.S. VC vehicles explicitly built around leadership diversity at the Series A stage. She positions herself as a mentor capitalist who invests specifically in companies whose senior teams include both women and men, providing hands-on operational support including recruiting management and board members, instilling financial discipline, and personally coaching senior leaders.
