More than a VC firm, Chloe Capital is a Movement to #InvestInWomen.
About us
Chloe Capital is a seed-stage venture capital firm that invests in women-led innovation companies. Despite recent progress, only two percent of female founders receive venture capital funding, with only .2 percent going to African American founders. Chloe Capital is on a mission to change that in partnership with foundations, universities and corporate innovators. We travel across the U.S. as part of the #InvestInWomen Tour, moving capital to female founders in each city we visit. Our fundraising experiences for women entrepreneurs and impact investors spotlight innovation, connect founders and investors to resources, and build community. Creating an inclusive venture ecosystem is a Movement. Chloe Capital aims to act as a catalyst. Join us > ChloeCapital.com/Contact The Firm invests in seed-stage companies with at least one woman in the C-suite receiving a fair amount of equity. Companies should have a working prototype, with the potential to disrupt macro industries including SaaS, Blockchain, AI, VR/AR, IoT, Cleantech, Agtech, Hardware, Edtech, Wearables and/or Robotics.

We are excited to launch a new series spotlighting our remarkable portfolio companies and the work they are doing to disrupt their industries! Today we want to highlight Tiya Gordon, COO and Co-Founder of itselectric - curbside EV charging specifically built for cities. Read on to learn more about Tiya and it’s electric! 🔌What They Do: itselectric has crafted a public charging solution to address the infrastructural and environmental justice barriers cities face in the deployment of electric vehicle charging. Instead of requiring costly and time consuming new utility connections, their charging posts connect behind-the-meter to draw spare electrical supply from adjacent buildings. 🔌Why They Do It: While building it’s electric, Tiya has had many signs and signals that reinforced that she was on the right path, but the one she was most floored by was winning FastCompany’s “Next Big Thing in Tech” Award and being recognized as a product that will define technological innovation for the rest of this decade and beyond. 🔌How We Met: Tiya first met Chloe Capital in 2022 and she was then selected as one of 20 founders for our inaugural New York City Economic Development Corporation Founder Fellowship program. 🔌Chloe Effect: Tiya says it best herself, “Chloe Capital has been nothing short of a powerhouse of a network. Anyone we might need, [they] seem to know”. 🔌What’s Next for itselectric: it’s electric just closed their $6.5mm seed round, co-led by Uber, which will support deployment across seven US cities, including Boston, LA, Detroit, Jersey City, and SF. They’re particularly excited about their expansion into Boston where, supported by the Boston Transportation Department, they plan to deploy hundreds of chargers in the next five years.

We're so proud of Chloe Capital portfolio company, itselectric, on their $6.5M seed round led by Failup Ventures and Uber! Not only will this raise bring itselectric's curbside chargers to seven new cities this year, but it will also help Uber push towards their all-electric future. Check out the full story in Fortune https://lnkd.in/e7DuKYNf
🎉 itselectric, a Brooklyn-based electric vehicle curbside charging company, today announced its $6.5M seed round. The raise was led by Failup Ventures and Uber. With participation from Halogen Ventures, Partnership for New York City, Pulse Fund, Newlab, Gratitude Railroad, Tale Venture Partners, The Equity Alliance, Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI) Impact Fund, and The Helm and will support deployments across seven cities in the United States in 2024, including Boston, Los Angeles, Detroit, Jersey City, and San Francisco. With fresh funding, itselectric’s curbside charging infrastructure will also help support Uber’s goal of helping rideshare drivers go electric. 🌎 2023 was the hottest year on record with transportation being the third largest contributor of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. But transportation is also a sector where the choice to drive electric will create a collective difference. Our mission is to make charging easy, convenient, and affordable not only for drivers, but for cities, providing the pathway for everyone to go electric. “itselectric has designed an innovative public charging solution that addresses the infrastructural barriers that cities face in the deployment of electric vehicle curbside charging,” said Topias Soininen, general partner at Failup Ventures. “Their thoughtfully designed chargers are a highly scalable solution that will rapidly bring curbside charging to the millions of city drivers who park on the street and contribute to the nationwide adoption of electric vehicles.” "We are thrilled to invest in itselectric as part of our push for an all-electric future,” said Camiel Irving, GM of Uber US & Canada. "Electric rideshare drivers cut emissions up to four times more than regular motorists, but many lack off-street parking and home charging options. itselectric is innovating to address this and expand overnight curbside charging, helping more drivers confidently go electric, ease range anxiety, and boost earnings potential." “itselectric is revolutionizing urban infrastructure,” said Jesse Draper founding partner, Halogen Ventures. “Their mission to bring highly accessible curbside charging combined with economic benefits to urban communities, offers an innovative solution for a problem we need to urgently solve. We’re incredibly excited about itselectric as they expand across cities to make sustainable transportation a reality across the nation” Read the full story in Fortune https://lnkd.in/e7DuKYNf
