Focus and fit
Who the program is for
Program thesis
Coalition backs founders taking big swings at important problems, and builds diverse, impactful cap tables by systematically placing top women operators onto early-stage companies as advisors and angels.
Eligibility
Coalition explicitly targets and prioritizes women and underrepresented founders. Founders should be addressing large, growing markets with early signals of traction, though not required for pre-seed.
Selection approach
The admissions process is by-invitation, with no open application cycle. Coalition curates and onboards operators when it identifies a relevant cap-table match.
