Disruption Ventures

Disruption Ventures is a venture fund that provides capital to North American-based, high-growth companies at the Seed and Series A stages, with a specific focus on those led by women. The firm differentiates itself by taking an active role in supporting its portfolio, leveraging operational experience, a data-driven investment philosophy, and a robust network of advisors to foster company growth and prevent common early-stage mistakes.

Elaine Kunda founded Disruption Ventures in 2019. Her insight for establishing the fund arose from the recognized disparity in venture capital funding for women-led businesses, despite their demonstrated potential for strong returns and positive outcomes. Kunda brings significant experience in operating companies and supporting women entrepreneurs, which informs the fund's hands-on approach.

Disruption Ventures primarily serves women founders who are building innovative, high-growth companies across various sectors in North America. The firm’s mission is to be the preferred initial capital partner for these founders, empowering them to achieve success and addressing historical funding imbalances within the venture ecosystem. The long-term vision centers on cultivating a vibrant portfolio of successful, women-led enterprises.
