JVS Philadelphia Fund for Women

The JVS Philadelphia Fund for Women was founded by Judee von Seldeneck, a committed leader and successful businesswoman in Greater Philadelphia.

Now, Judee’s goal is to assist women-led enterprises to mature and grow by providing a source of capital to women growth enterprises, leveraging the experience of established women leaders to provide consulting and advisory services, and connecting women CEOs to resources to accelerate their growth.

The Fund deploys capital through two methods:

JVS Grants:  JVS Grants are targeted to women-owned and led businesses that are positioned for their next stage of growth. Criteria for consideration and the review process are outlined here. The grant selection process is directly overseen by Ms. Von Seldeneck and an Advisory Committee of accomplished women leaders. This application is required to be considered for grant funding.

JVS Investments:  JVS Investments target technology-focused ventures in the region. The JVS Investment process is managed by the Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern PA. www.sep.benfranklin.org, and eligible companies are those that satisfy Ben Franklin’s investment criteria and processes.
