    Beta Boom is an award-winning VC fund investing in startups based in rising tech hubs across the U.S. and building the future for women and multicultural consumers—segments that have driven 90% of U.S. population growth over the last decade. Unlike other funds that predominantly invest in ultra-high pedigree founders that attended elite universities or worked at exclusive companies, Beta Boom focuses on the other 99% of underinvested founders that come from diverse academic and professional backgrounds. Post investment, we help startups succeed and reduce time-to-exit with weekly to daily coaching and support from product, marketing, sales, and fundraising experts.
