What they do

Chai Ventures is a NYC-based pre-seed and seed stage fund investing in women-led companies solving critical problems with businesses that deliver impact at scale across the high-growth sectors of better world, health and wellness, and human connection.

We take a full ecosystem approach to supporting women entrepreneurs by considering the pivotal role of women as both capital allocators and recipients.
