Built to last
Founded in 2000 by tech pioneer Catherine Muther, Astia has remained steadfast in its commitment to creating a more equitable venture capital landscape.
Despite the industry’s ongoing gender imbalance—with less than 10% of VC investments going to companies with at least one woman leader—Astia continues to be a beacon of hope and success for women entrepreneurs around the world.
