Graham & Walker is a venture firm that activates the potential of all women in business for the benefit of humankind. We envision a world where the founders, leaders, investors are more representative of the world they serve.
We’re serving our mission and purpose through an accelerator, VC fund ($10M), connections, education, and events. Our community has raised $2.6B for women and non-binary founders.
- The Female Founders Alliance rebranded to Graham & Walker in October 2021
- FFA Powered by Graham & Walker, formerly the Founder community, is an inclusive online community with access to today’s top business leaders.
- The Graham & Walker Accelerator, formerly the Ready Set Raise Accelerator, is a six-week national, virtual, industry-agnostic startup accelerator, designed to help pre-seed and seed-stage founders raise outside capital.
- The Graham & Walker Summit is a virtual three-day leadership conference for all women in business.
- The Champion Awards, formerly the FFA Champion Awards, recognize champions of equity across industries, selected by the people they lead.
- The VC Fund is new in 2021, and is helping reshape the Nasqaq by funding early stage woman-founded tech companies that are bettering how we live, how we work, and how we coexist with our planet.
It all starts with one. One idea. One partnership. One life-changing investment. With one woman- and nonbinary-owned business at a time, Graham & Walker is changing the face of entrepreneurship. This is Graham & Walker & you.
