About
Us

Our Story
As an engineer and former tech founder, Al noticed that many women founders without technical backgrounds struggle with hiring technical talent and building software. Al aims to partner with founders early, empowering them to feel confident and succeed. Despite receiving only 2% of venture capital funding, women founders are relentless in their pursuit and often achieve higher returns than their male counterparts.
