__able is an investment fund focused on health & wellbeing. We aim to support passionate entrepreneurs building visionary brands in positive living that will make the daily lives of consumers healthier, happier and more meaningful.

We seek to partner with companies that are narrowing The Wellness Gap: the quantifiable delta that has grown dramatically over the past two decades as economic indicators such as GDP per capita have increased while measures of overall wellbeing, including physical and mental health, have stagnated or decreased. We are most focused on overlooked or stigmatized communities that have resulted in underserved markets.

We back exceptional founders building the future. Each of us makes our own investment decisions and invests from our own sources of capital. A handful of companies are backed by all six of us, while the majority are backed by only a few of us—but we work as a team to support all of the founders in our portfolio.

We believe the journey in Silicon Valley is better shared together. For many years, we’ve been bringing operators, founders, and investors together for real-talk lessons of building startups, diversifying networks and shining a light on the parts of our industry which have been historically held close to the (Patagonia) vest by those in power.

The mission of 100 Black Angels & Allies Fund I is to align smart, affluent, innovative and skilled Black and ally capital to build a scalable and sustainable Black technology, startup entrepreneurship and venture ecosystem that powers a global diasporic engine and platform to ensure that Black people everywhere are equitably represented at all levels in the future of work, startup ecosystem and forthcoming 4th Industrial Revolution as a definitive path to decreasing income inequality and the racial wealth gap. This is the path to shared prosperity and multi-generational wealth creation with no reliance on pre-existing multi-generational wealth. We are looking for high-growth, enterprise-focused early-stage companies, scalable ecosystem building companies, and venture funds with Black general partners.

100K Incubator is a mobile app for early stage women entrepreneurs to get funding for their companies, live coaching, and results-driven classes to help them scale their businesses to at least 100K in yearly sales.

We believe in cost-effective business coaching and providing early stage women entrepreneurs with the funding that they need. Gone are the days of thousands of dollars in coaching fees and draining your personal bank account to fund your business.

1517 supports teams led by young founders with pre-seed, and seed funding for technology startups. Our focus is on makers, hackers, and scientists interested in working outside tracked institutions because we believe that the path geared towards higher education is not for all. We motivate people to work on what they’re passionate about, to learn by doing, and to create new technologies.

Working with founders at the earliest stages: We learned from one of the best investors in the history of venture capital how to find, identify, and work with outstanding founders at the earliest stages. Not your typical venture capital team: We’re a bunch of former educators, philosophers, and tech geeks. You won’t find a single MBA or Patagonia vest on this team.

1517 Fund is a part of Beyond the Billion, a pledge campaign aimed at mobilizing a global consortium committed to invest $1 BILLION in women founders.

Founded in 2016 by Tracy Killoren Chadwell as an early-stage venture capital firm, 1843 Capital focuses on AgeTech—technology for older adults and their caregivers, and longevity. We invest differently—valuing diverse founders and board members—and we engage differently, with capital, counsel, and connectivity.

1843 Capital was named for the year Ada Byron Lovelace is credited with writing the first computer program. As the only legitimate daughter of poet Lord Byron, Ada found poetry in numbers and is credited with recognizing the full potential of Charles Babbage’s analytical engine. At 1843 Capital we wonder: “what would have happened if Ada was funded.”

37 Angels is a community of 90+ angel investors with a mission to activate investors through local and global investor trainings. Our main goals are to achieve gender parity and to increase diversity in angel investing. Many of our members are former entrepreneurs who understand the highs and lows of business-building. As such, we are committed to transparency in communication and providing advice grounded in empathy. We primarily invest in early-stage startups and we are sector and geography agnostic.

3CORE is a private, nonprofit corporation that works as the economic development planning and coordinating agency for California’s Tri-County region, composed of Butte, Glenn and Tehama counties and the nine member cities located therein. We will help you secure your next small business loan. Our mission is to cultivate healthy businesses, because people matter.

3CORE manages multiple revolving loan funds to meet local financing needs. 3CORE loan proceeds may be used for any of the following: Working capital, purchasing land, buildings or existing businesses, purchasing furniture, fixtures, machinery and equipment, business expansions or startups, leasehold improvements and lines of credit. 3CORE typically finances loans between $25,000 and $250,000. However, we will consider requests outside this range under certain circumstances. Loan terms are generally between three and seven years. Loan terms for purchasing land, buildings or businesses may be up to 15 years. Interest rates range between 6 and 10 percent dependent on market conditions. Most loan terms feature a fixed interest rate.

3CORE also has a Small Business Disaster Interruption Loan Program. This is not designed to compete with SBA Disaster Loan Programs, but will compliment those programs by filling potential lending gaps. Program includes business working capital loans in an amount between $10,000 and $100,000, depending on each business’s individual needs. Larger loan requests with alternate rates and terms may also be considered.

By listening intently and tailoring assistance to each specific business’ need, the Tri Counties Bank/3CORE Minority Owned Business Campaign will create a support network. Through mentorship, customized technical assistance engagements and strategic financial assistance, this program will ensure business growth and long-term success.

Our global flagship funds are the original series of funds that helped start it all. Our strategy has been to operate as an active and global early-stage investor. Once invested, we provide a network of mentors to founders that focus on growth marketing and digital distribution—intended to take their early traction metrics and improve them for subsequent financings and increase in valuation.

In order to generate high-volume deal flow, provide structured portfolio support, and build a strong brand in the startup world, we established our Seed Accelerator program. Over the past decade, we have refined our strategies and continue to invest across the globe in the world’s most promising founders.

We are an institution founded and led by African-Americans who celebrate diversity and equal opportunity. While we invest across different markets and remain open to a variety of new businesses, we are currently excited about the following themes: applications of personalized consumer, SaaS for the second wave, the engineering value claim revolution, and the rise of citizen professionals. As a firm, one of our key long-term focuses over the years has also been supporting broad change in the education, mentorship and training of young people, particularly African-American kids.
