About Impulse4Women

In any startup, the first priority is the team. The second priority is the team. And the third priority? Always the team"

Taryn Andersen, CEO and Founder

Our Story

Impulse4Women was founded in 2017 by our CEO, Taryn Andersen, who saw that women entrepreneurs often approached and pitched to investors differently than their male counterparts. Recognizing this, she aimed to connect women-led startups with investors aligned to their vision and dedicated to helping them close funding rounds.

We want to support women-led tech startups to securing capital and scaling globally. We understand the challenges women face in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, and we’re here to help them overcome every barrier.
