Our Past.

In 2019, Robbie Hardy, a self-described “entrepreneur since birth”, gathered 14 like-minded women (pictured below) to create xElle Ventures. Our shared goal was to create a new way to finance young companies AND to educate and support women not familiar with this type of investing.

xElle Ventures began as a network in August of 2019 and grew into a fund in 2021. Since then, our mission is to discover and support (via our 3Ms) the most promising women business leaders and mentor them as they create successful companies while building a thriving women founder-investor ecosystem in the country. We aspire to become one of the most active groups of women backing other women as they grow successful businesses.

xElle Members, currently 47 strong, located throughout the United States, are established female founders, accredited investors, and experienced executives across several industries and disciplines.
