The Donna Fund

The Donna Fund operates as a venture capital firm, strategically deploying capital into early-stage companies. It specifically targets female founders who are developing innovative solutions within the critical healthcare and technology sectors. The firm's investment approach emphasizes identifying and nurturing exceptional entrepreneurial talent, facilitating the growth of nascent ventures in these specialized industries.

Jeremy Friese established The Donna Fund around 2024, with the inspiration drawn from his mother, Donna Friese, and her strong work ethic. The foundational insight behind the firm was the recognized need for a dedicated capital source to empower what Friese terms "force-of-nature" female founders. This personal connection and conviction propelled the creation of a venture fund tailored to support this specific, impactful segment of the entrepreneurial landscape.

The fund's primary focus is on early-stage female founders innovating within healthcare and technology. The Donna Fund aims to cultivate a new generation of industry leadership by supplying not only essential financial backing but also strategic guidance. Its long-term vision is to significantly contribute to a more diverse and dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem, thereby accelerating innovation through thoughtful and targeted investments.
