It seems like a lot of startups are born from an idea someone had while in college. But what if, instead of being honed years later at an accelerator, that initial idea was supported on campus while the dreamer was still enrolled? For example, David Lin started food delivery service Duffl two years ago while an undergrad at the University of California Los Angeles.

Today, banks and fintech startups tend not to provide products dedicated to families, specifically, and this has appeared as something of a gap in the market. Meanwhile the general lack of financial education and financial literacy means families are missing out on securing financial prosperity for their families. GoHenry (which raised $121.2M), which bills itself as “smart banking for kids” has attempted to crack part of this market, but is aimed at kids not families, per say.

If you’ve read anything about pitching your company, you’ve probably come across advice that says that you need a warm introduction to an investor.

But if you don’t regularly attend barbecues at the Sonoma mansions of venture capitalists, don’t worry — access isn’t the only way to raise money.

Despite shrinking investment into startups in 2022, venture capital funds of all sizes are still being raised. However, not many of these are led by solo general partners (GPs), and although that trend is on the rise , even fewer are led by women or people who don’t come from venture capital. The above makes Nichole Wischoff something of an exception: Her solo venture capital firm Wischoff Ventures closed a second fund of $20 million, a sizable increase from her first $5 million fund.
