We invest in early-stage companies in the untapped customer segments of FemTech and the Future of Work. We bring our operational and technical expertise and partner with early stage management teams on the hard stuff – go-to-market strategy and technical execution.

Founder & Managing Partner

We are a seed-stage focused venture fund that invests in startups at the intersection of deep tech and dual-use technology, as well as in military veteran-led startups. The fund is supplemented by an investment syndicate and community called the Academy Investor Network, built to harness the collective experience and service of graduates from the five publicly-funded U.S. service academies.


Managing Partner
We believe technology has the opportunity to sustain prosperity for all, but it’s not possible without diverse perspectives. Artemis leads seed rounds for diverse tech founders with wild ambition in fintech, commerce, and care building the economy of the future.


We are a seed-stage venture fund focused on Black and innovative entrepreneurs. We take a match-making approach to investing, creating formal relationships with industry-specific Series A-Series C lead firms who have a track record of exiting companies – then source, invest, and work with founders over 12- 18 months to prepare them for their next raise led by BFM’s partner firms.
