79 Studios

Overview

79 Studios is a startup studio dedicated to creating a new playing field that emphasizes the strengths of women and minority entrepreneurs. The firm focuses on developing its own products and companies that propel women, investing seed capital in women-led startups, and building an action-oriented community of powerhouse women. By investing in and advancing women and minorities, 79 Studios aims to realize substantial returns both financially and socially. Instead of teaching women and minorities to succeed in the current paradigm, the firm seeks to accelerate returns by building a new business ecosystem tailored to their needs and highlighting their strengths. As product builders, company operators, and investors, 79 Studios is creating this new playing field by building its own women or minority-led companies while investing seed capital in founders who contribute to their network. The firm's investment strategy includes focusing on seed and early-stage investments in technology companies across various sectors, such as software, healthcare, e-commerce, transportation, SaaS, product design, hardware, internet of things, and shipping. 79 Studios has a history of investing in companies like SnapEDA, a software and hardware company based in San Francisco, California. The firm has made a total of three investments, with an average round size of $283,000, and has achieved one exit. By fostering a community of women and minority entrepreneurs and providing them with the resources and support needed to succeed, 79 Studios is working to change the face of venture capital and create a more inclusive and equitable business ecosystem. The firm's approach combines product development, investment, and community building to empower underrepresented founders and drive innovation in various industries.
