A vehicle for women-led companies in the AI era.
An accelerator and a fund, structurally connected.
Capability is becoming portable. Capital hasn’t caught up.
For most of the past century, the path to building a venture-scale company ran through narrow channels — access, relationships, geography, pattern-match. The companies that got built reflected who could get to the room.
AI changes that. It collapses some of the costs of capability that those channels used to ration. A founder building in Ulaanbaatar or Nairobi or Karachi now has access to the same model weights, the same tools, and increasingly the same software leverage as a founder in San Francisco.
Solenne is the vehicle that backs the women this shift favors most — built around the conviction that the next decade reprices this asset class, and that the firms positioned closest to those founders, with capital ready to deploy, will own the result.
Two vehicles, designed to work together.
The accelerator builds capability. The fund deploys capital behind it.
The accelerator
Cohort-based and women-led, pairing women in institutional leadership with women-led companies building alongside them. AI fluency and capital readiness are the spine; governance, board posture, and audit discipline are the structural underlay.
The fund
A venture vehicle backing the highest-conviction companies with direct investment — built to meet the gender-lens thresholds institutional capital allocators now require, and to invest behind traction it has watched form at close range.
The two vehicles share infrastructure but not balance sheets. The accelerator earns its place in the founders’ trust through capability transfer. The fund earns its place through capital and the seriousness of follow-on partnership.
A founding circle built for contribution, not symbolic seats.
Capital, governance, and technology — each seat at the table holds a distinct piece of the platform.

Women-led by design.
Most vehicles bolt gender criteria on after the fact. Solenne is structured to clear them from day one.
The accelerator runs first. The fund follows proof.
The order is deliberate. The accelerator earns trust through capability transfer, and its first cohort produces the validated traction the fund invests behind. By the time capital deploys, conviction has been earned at close range.
Cohorts build AI fluency, governance discipline, and capital readiness.
Traction validated at close range, company by company.
Capital deploys behind the companies that earned it.
Open to conversations.
