The Twenty65 Fund, powered by Trimantium Capital, is an investment fund focused on supporting female tech entrepreneurs, especially those of color. It was created to ensure a more equitable distribution of funding opportunities, as female startup founders currently receive only 2.7% of all available venture funds, with women of color receiving just 0.2%. Diversity, compassionate leadership, and ethical business practices are its key criteria for potential funding. Its Founder is Abyah Wynn, the Vice President of US Operations and Business Development at Trimantium.
