F3 Ventures

Canada-based F3 Ventures is a seed-stage venture capital fund and community network that invests in and supports female-led early-stage companies across North America. The firm currently manages an active portfolio of over 30 companies that have collectively raised approximately $500 million in follow-on venture capital. After launching with an initial $8 million vehicle, the organization subsequently closed a $27 million seed fund to deploy across the consumer, healthcare, and software sectors. The firm's institutional and individual limited partners include Melinda Gates and Whitney Wolfe Herd, backing a portfolio that features notable startups such as Zola, Maven Clinic, and Tala. Beyond direct capital deployment, the firm provides strategic advisory services and hosts engagement events, including a recent showcase awarding $30,000 in prizes to emerging entrepreneurs. F3 Ventures was originally founded in 2013 by Anu Duggal.
