Cake Ventures is a Bay Area venture capital firm founded in 2021 by Monique Woodard that invests in early-stage companies shaped by major demographic changes. The firm targets pre-seed and seed-stage startups in North America, focusing on consumer businesses and B2B/enterprise companies addressing aging and longevity, the increased spending power of women, and the shift to a majority-minority population. It typically writes initial checks ranging from $200,000 to $750,000 and has invested in 13 companies since launching, with more than half located outside San Francisco/Silicon Valley. Notable portfolio companies include Culina Health, Eli Health, Pamper, and Most Days. Woodard, a former Kauffman Fellow and startup operator, articulates a distinctive point of view that these three demographic groups represent over $18 trillion in annual market share and constitute a lucrative investment opportunity. The firm raised a $17 million debut fund with investors including Pivotal Ventures, Foundry Group, and Bank of America.
