We are a $40M fund dedicated to building the infrastructure to meet the needs of women and working families. We started Springbank with a singular belief that the needs of women and working families were under-estimated, under-innovated, and under-invested. Areas like flexible and remote work, care infrastructure, women’s health, and the financial health and productivity of households have historically been viewed as “women’s issues” and therefore nice - but not need - to have. Our perspective is that these are in fact “everyone issues” that greatly impact our society, labor markets, and economy at large. We invest in founders building companies in the care, career and consumer spaces.
