Following a slow start to the year, women-led VC funds have raised a total of $1.44 billion through the end of H1. This is a marked increase from the just over $700 million they had raised when I published my last update at the end of May, and shows that women-led venture firms are on track to reach the $3 billion mark they surpassed in 2023 and 2022, even amidst the fundraising slowdown across the venture industry. Engine Ventures takes first place so far this year with its final close on $398 million for its third fund, above its $350 million target. Ulu Ventures raised $190 million for its fourth fund, Seven Seven Six 7️⃣7️⃣6️⃣ raised $187 million for its third fund towards its target of $520 million and Renegade Partners closed on $128 million for its second fund. While the success of these four funds are representative of the progress made by women in the venture industry, the remaining $537 million was raised by 42 firms, with those funds generating a median of just $4.62 million in closed-on capital as of June 30. Our list of women-led venture firms that have raised capital since the beginning of 2022 now contains information on over 200 individual firms, more than twice the number that I found when I first started this project around this time last year. We will be publishing the next update to our list within the next few weeks. Read more on Venture Capital Journal. #venturecapital #womeninVC #emergingmanagers https://lnkd.in/eiNN4j3h

Who will revive the unicorpse? Catch Norwest Partner Lisa Wu speaking at Fortune's Brainstorm TECH 2024 Conference on July 16 in Park City, Utah. The magic of Silicon Valley is under pressure like never before as macroeconomic changes take their toll on private markets. Two years after the IPO markets effectively closed to most venture-backed startups, we’re starting to see young companies reach the end of their runways — even as green shoots emerge. Where should entrepreneurs turn for funding? When will IPOs return? And what are founders supposed to do in the meantime? Joining Lisa Wu in the conversation will be Jill (Greenberg) Chase, partner at CapitalG, Jai Das, co-founder, president, and partner at Sapphire Ventures, Matt McIlwain, managing director at Madrona Venture Group, and Renata Quintini, co-founder and managing director at Renegade Partners.
