Inside Monique Woodard’s Solo GP PlaybookAbout Cake Ventures
Cake Ventures is a San Francisco venture capital firm that invests at pre-seed and seed in North American companies shaped by demographic change: ageing and longevity, the growing spending power of women, and the shift to a majority-minority United States. It backs consumer businesses and the B2B companies that serve them. Monique Woodard is its founding partner and managing director. It announced its first fund, of US$17 million, in January 2023.
