About

Halogen Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm based in Santa Monica, California, specializing in investing in consumer technology companies led by women. Founded in 2015 by Jesse Draper, a fourth-generation venture capitalist, the firm focuses on pre-seed, seed, and Series A funding rounds, supporting startups that are developing innovative technologies and products in the consumer sector. Halogen Ventures is committed to providing hands-on support to its portfolio companies throughout their growth journey, assisting founders in building networks, gaining brand exposure, hiring talent, securing follow-on funding, and navigating paths to acquisition or initial public offerings.

The firm has invested in over 70 portfolio companies, including notable exits such as Squad (acquired by Twitter), ThisisL. (acquired by P&G), and Eloquii (acquired by Walmart). Halogen Ventures has also launched initiatives like The Halogen Fellowship in Venture Capital to improve diversity in the industry and partnered with Innovate Alabama to invest $10 million in female founders in Alabama.
