At Two Small Fish Ventures, we invest in the next frontier of computing and its applications. Supporting that thesis is our focus on research grounded innovation, which means we spend a lot of time with people who are building from first principles and turning technical breakthroughs into real companies. Not surprisingly, many of those people are world-class women researchers, scientists, and engineers. We have been fortunate to back a good number of them, and we are better for it.

This shows up in our portfolio, but it also shows up in our own team. Roughly half of our team is female. Our investment team is also roughly half female, with Eva and Mikayla bringing perspectives that genuinely shape how we think, how we evaluate, and how we support founders.

This is not just something to celebrate. It makes us better. One of the most common pieces of feedback we hear from founders is that we ask very different questions. That is exactly the point. Different perspectives lead to better conversations, smaller blind spots, and stronger judgment. In deep tech, where the path from breakthrough to company is rarely straightforward, that matters.

So today, we celebrate the many women founders, researchers, scientists, and engineers we have backed, and the many more we hope to back in the years ahead.

Happy International Women’s Day!
