A new fund for a new future
New Theory Ventures is an evergreen fund and venture catalyst investing in women and diverse founders, bolstering innovative brands, and supercharging new theories to market.
"As a non-white female founder, I've been underfunded, underrepresented, and underestimated. I started New Theory Ventures to invest in women and diverse founders shaping the new landscape of success, because the data is clear: when new voices are amplified, both purpose and profits soar."
- Nikki Eslami, Founder and CEO
