Halogen Ventures, founded by Jesse Draper in 2015, is an early-stage venture capital firm based in Los Angeles. The firm focuses on investing in female-led consumer technology companies and strategic B2B software sectors. Halogen Ventures has made significant strides with notable investments in companies such as Babylist, Flex, and Ellevest. The firm has raised a total of $31.4 million across its funds and has invested in over 111 companies, achieving 12 successful exits. Their investment strategy includes providing not just capital but also strategic support to help companies grow and scale effectively. They assist with network building, brand exposure, talent acquisition, and subsequent funding rounds.

This strategic focus has led to their portfolio companies generating over $10 billion in market value.
