VEST

VEST Her Ventures is an early-stage venture fund based in Oklahoma City that invests in women-led companies in the care economy and the future of work. The fund launched in 2022 and is part of VEST, a platform advancing women’s economic mobility. VEST, launched in 2020, is a professional network and community for women across industries, generations, and career stages. Members get introductions, career support, gatherings, a private member community and app, and opportunities to share their expertise. VEST also produces a podcast and publishes insights. The fund backs founders building solutions for women, working families, and inclusive employers. It invests in companies in the middle of the country and elsewhere, where deals often receive less visibility and capital. Portfolio companies include Magnolia Care, Nolia Health, Keep Company, and Langfinity. The firm typically participates as a co-investor alongside other early-stage investors. VEST combines capital with a network of professional women who offer perspective, introductions, and access to opportunities. It also works to build better systems for women’s careers, lives, and access to capital.
