Astia is transforming the way businesses are funded in the here and now, providing capital, connections, and guidance that fuel the growth of highly innovative, women-led ventures around the globe. Astia was founded in Silicon Valley in 1999 as a non-profit organization dedicated to identifying and promoting best-in-class women high-growth entrepreneurs. Astia’s model is designed to change the way our ecosystem looks at and evaluates high potential organizations, increasing the recognition of, and investment into women entrepreneurs and their teams. We identify high potential companies through our personalized referral system, move them through our multi-step Astia Expert Sift™ towards possible investor presentation, link them to advisors and resources as needed, and share them with our Astia Angels.
