THREE MAJOR MISTAKES

Most women who start investing in venture make the same three mistakes.

01

Invested from the network, not from a thesis.

03

A friend is in. The founder is compelling. The round is closing. So they say yes. The deal gets done, but was never the right fit. Wrong sector, wrong stage, wrong return profile. 

02

No deployment plan.
No follow-on reserves.

The most exciting deals come first and consume too much capital. When the truly exceptional opportunities arrive, the budget is gone. Follow-on rounds get skipped. Ownership dilutes. 

03

Waiting for the "right" moment. Never deployed at all. 

Every deal feels like maybe a better one is coming. So they wait. And research. And wait again. But the market moves. Rounds close. Opportunities pass and so do returns & impact.

All three mistakes have the same root cause: no framework.
I build yours. Before the first deal.

THE APPROACH 

We build your Personal Wealth Architecture.

Most advisors start with what they sell. I start with your total wealth — and build from there.

01

Start with your life, not a product.

Map your total wealth.

We look at everything: assets, liquidity, commitments, lifestyle needs. We define how much can go into venture, without touching what you can't afford to lose.

02

Build your own VC strategy.

Ticket sizes, deployment pace, number of deals, follow-on reserves, thematic focus. A written investment policy you can hold yourself accountable to.

03

From strategy to portfolio.

I source deals for your strategy, review funds, support due diligence, and coordinate tax and legal. You decide. I stay.

Clarity in the plan. Confidence in you.

No products · No commissions · No placement fees

About

MEET ANNE

Independent Wealth Partner for Women & Family Capital

I bring together entrepreneurship, family office investing, and professional investment practice.

I help women strategically integrate venture capital into their total wealth. Not as a product. As a genuine part of how they build their financial life.

My background

  • SCALING A FINTECH: I built a FinTech and raised capital from public and private investors. I know what founders promise and what they actually deliver.

  • INSIDE A FAMILY OFFICE:  As part of the venture-focused single family office Team Global (Lukasz Gadowksi), I saw how wealth successfully scales through VC and which mistakes you only need to make once.

  • AS PARTNER AT A VC FUND: I built the VC fund "Marvelous" from zero. I know how the machine works: strategy, operations, LP relations, and what separates great funds from mediocre ones.

WHY THIS MATTERS 

Venture capital is still shaped by structures that disadvantage women.

2%

of European venture capital flows into female-founded startups

85%

of decision-making roles in VC are held by men

$60T

in wealth projected to be held by women globally by 2030

Those who invest in venture decide which companies will shape tomorrow's economy. Women with capital have that power, they just rarely have the framework to act on it.

I invest myself, in startups and funds. And I help women do the same. With strategy, with structure, and with genuine enjoyment.
