Funding the next billion dollar technology business
Halogen Ventures is a leading early-stage venture capital firm investing in transformative consumer technology and B2B companies.
Based in Los Angeles and recognized by Business Insider as a Best Seed Fund, Halogen has established itself as a leading investor in the future of family, consumer innovation, and emerging technology verticals.
Founding Partner Jesse Draper, a fourth-generation venture capitalist and one of the first solo female GPs in Los Angeles, has built a powerful platform and network that gives Halogen unique access to the next generation of category-leading founders.
Through a differentiated sourcing strategy and deep expertise in identifying emerging market trends, Halogen backs exceptional founders building category-defining businesses from their earliest stages. The firm has invested in more than 100 companies, including six unicorns, representing over $15 billion in market value, with investments including Babylist, Metropolis, ThirdLove, Trust & Will, and The Flex Company.
While Halogen is widely recognized for backing female founders and mixed-gender teams, its strategy is rooted in identifying overlooked opportunities and high-potential entrepreneurs before they become obvious to the broader market.

In the earliest stages of building a company, the partners who show up for you make all the difference, guiding you through the turbulence of starting and growing something from nothing.
From day one, Jesse and the Halogen team have exemplified exactly that, and we couldn't be more grateful.
