Kelly Graziadei (Advert)

This year, Kelly Graziadei (Advert) and her co-founder, Joanna Lee Shevelenko, announced and closed their first institutional venture capital fund, f7 Ventures. The venture capital fund was one of the largest first-time funds launched by female operators. This is particularly notable with only 4% of VC firms in the U.S. led by women. The $50 million fund includes a respected and diverse set of limited partners, and 70% of their investments have been to underrepresented founders.
