In 2023, female-owned venture capital firms received just 3% of the total $107 billion raised across venture firms worldwide, up from 2% in 2022. It is within this environment that Renata Quintini, cofounder and managing director of Renegade Partners, is announcing the close of a fresh $128 million in dry powder. The close of Fund II brings her firm’s total assets under management to $228 million, a size Quintini believes is a “Goldilocks” fit for the work she and cofounder Roseanne Wincek want to do.

“If you’re managing a billion dollars, the math works against you,” she said during a sitdown interview at the Forbes studio. “At our fund size, we can write checks for $10 million, or in some cases have single digit percentage ownership that makes sense for our fund math… I’d much rather own a bite of a watermelon than the whole grape. Let’s optimize for opportunities to say yes to great founders.” Quintini also dished on what aspiring founders—of companies and venture firms alike—need to know about operating in 2024.

    Fantastic to see Renegade Partners thriving under Renata Quintini's leadership and securing $120 million to empower Series A tech companies! Their strategic focus on sustainable business models and key markets promises a robust path forward in venture capital. 👏

    She's impressive. But she's put in the time in all the right places and racked up professional credentials in key areas of practice. Doesn't surprise me that she was able to attract institutionals.

    I personally don’t care for AI as a consumer. When I have to waste time fighting the AI bot when I am going through a customer service app before I finally get the option offered to talk to a real person just to get a simple question answered or get a return shipping label I view it as a sign the company doesn’t really value my positive experience and is using an obtuse bot as a defense to stop people having successful returns

    A certain darkness settled over that conversation when it turned towards flow of capital....it did not inspire confidence.
