MERIDIAN INVESTMENTS

Impact investing in women-led technology, sports & healthcare.

We invest in women-led and women-centered businesses where resilience, leadership, and scalable systems converge.

Our focus is on ventures designed to endure—financially sound, mission-aligned, and built for long-term influence rather than short-term exits.

Our Investment Approach

Beyond Traditional Venture Capital

Not charity. Not traditional VC. Something in between.

We are not passive capital. Beyond funding, you get strategic guidance from founders who've built and scaled mission-driven companies through crisis and growth.

  • We're entrepreneurs first, investors second. We've been in your seat—building companies, navigating uncertainty, making high-stakes decisions with incomplete information. Our guidance comes from experience, not theory.

  • Our three decades of building businesses and advising leaders through crises help portfolio companies build that same resilience from day one. Access to enterprise customers, strategic partners, co-investors, and a community of founders solving similar challenges.

  • Impact isn't simply a goal—it is what informs our purpose-driven approach to everything we do. We believe the best returns come from solving real problems for real people, and we're building a portfolio that proves it.

Our Investment Criteria

We look for businesses that meet three core standards.

01
Values Alignment

Does this advance equity, resilience, or sustainability in a meaningful, measurable way?

02
Durable Business Models

Can the company survive—and grow—without perpetual fundraising or donor dependence?

03
Founder Credibility

Do the founders bring demonstrated experience, judgment, and the capacity to lead through complexity?
