Standup Capital

StandUp Ventures builds a portfolio of high-growth technology companies through strategic capital and operational support. As a venture capital firm, its core offering combines investment funding with expertise, fostering innovation and accelerating growth within partner companies. The firm specializes in nurturing early-stage ventures, employing a network-driven approach to scale disruptive technology.

Michelle McBane serves as Managing Director, guiding the firm's investment strategy. StandUp Ventures was established from the insight that female-led companies are often underserved by traditional venture capital. The firm champions diverse leadership, addressing this funding gap and recognizing distinct market opportunities within companies founded or co-founded by women.

The firm invests in emerging technology companies, particularly those with at least one female founder, focusing on enterprise software, digital health, and cleantech. StandUp Ventures' vision centers on empowering these ventures to scale, driving economic growth and cultivating an inclusive technology landscape. It acts as a catalyst for successful, women-led enterprises.
