How We're Raising Money in 2025: Annie Evans, Dream Ventures

Annie Evans is on the Female Founder World podcast with Jasmine Garnsworthy! Annie is the creator of Dream Ventures, a fund and incubator built to connect female founders with investors. After building and eventually closing her own startup, Annie wanted to help women access resources and capital to build their business. She created Dream Ventures, which has helped kickstart the growth of companies like Topicals, House of Wise, iFundWomen and more.  In this conversation, Annie goes deep on when and if your company should fundraise, what makes her process different (and why it works!), and fundraising tips from behind the curtain as an investor.
