The fund focuses on early-stage investments, including pre-seed, seed, and growth stages, targeting high-potential opportunities in emerging markets shaped by rapidly changing demographics and market dynamics. The fund's portfolio spans multiple industries, with a strong emphasis on healthcare, fintech, media, edtech, consumer products, beauty, and enterprise solutions. Notable investments include Canela Media, the leading Hispanic media company, and MoCaFi, a fintech company offering mobile-first banking solutions to underserved communities. The fund is managed by a team of experienced professionals, including Juliana Garaizar, Sheila Collins, Trish Costello, Lorine Pendleton, and Dr. Karen Kerr, who collectively bring over 16 years of investment experience. Their diverse expertise and networks enable the fund to identify and support innovative companies that align with its mission to drive both financial returns and social impact. The fund's investment strategy is designed to capitalize on the growing buying power of minority-majority populations in the U.S., including Latin/Hispanic, African American, and LGBTQ+ communities, by investing in founders and businesses often overlooked in the entrepreneurial landscape. This approach aims to foster economic growth and societal progress by supporting diverse leadership and innovation. The fund's performance has been strong, with previous funds achieving a gross internal rate of return (IRR) of 40% and a total value to paid-in (TVPI) multiple of 3.2x, indicating successful investments and value creation. These metrics reflect the fund's commitment to delivering exceptional returns while making a positive impact on the communities it serves. The fund is currently open to new investors, with a minimum investment of $100,000 and a maximum of $5 million, providing opportunities for accredited investors to participate in its mission-driven investment approach. By focusing on underrepresented founders and sectors, Portfolia Rising America Fund continues to redefine venture capital by combining performance, purpose, and participation to create lasting change in the market and society.
