GAV

Have her back — women backing women.

גב women · backing · women

One introduction opens every door. Most women never get one. So we give it to each other now.

> the door was never locked.
> we stopped waiting

it isn't in your head

82%
of funded deals start with a warm intro. Not a pitch — a name, passed hand to hand.
1%
of venture capital reaches all-women founding teams. The ideas aren't worse. They return more.
38%
less likely — a woman's odds of knowing the person on the other side of the door.

It happens over coffee. A favor. A name. you two should talk.

Women get one percent.

Not because the ideas are worse — they aren't.

Because the introduction never comes.

> not mentorship — you're drowning in advice.
> not another group chat.
> a room of women who open doors for each other. on purpose. on the record.

what gav is

One act. Done relentlessly.

the job

Women backing women — with real capital, not more advice.

the act

One warm intro. “You two should talk.”

the room

Small. Non-competing. No one fights over the same budget.

the rule

You don't just show up. You give.

make your ask

One specific door.

Vague asks go nowhere. Name the exact door — someone here can open it.

On the record

backed
Maya · founder, climate fintech
I need an intro to a CISO at a mid-size insurer piloting carbon tools — we're one reference logo from our round.
backed
Dana · founder, women's health
I need an intro to an angel who's funded femtech — generalist VCs keep saying they “don't get it.”
backed
Lena · founder, app security
I need one design partner running a modern AppSec stack — a real deployment, not another demo.

for the men who get it

You've done this before.

You made one introduction — and it changed her whole year.

You didn't think twice. That's what allies do.

Do it again — on purpose this time.

You in? Good — we saved you a seat.
