Our Process
The Astia Expert Sift
Astia has carved a unique path to source, screen and invest in top performing startups -
the Astia Expert Sift™.
Criteria Screen
We only invest in companies that include at least one woman in a position of equity and influence on par with her male counterparts. We invest in high-growth companies that are beyond the concept stage with market validation.
Operations Screen
Serial, venture-backed entrepreneurs and corporate executives with P&L experience, hear presentations from company leadership to evaluate the company’s operations and go-to-market strategy.
Industry Screen
Experts with 15+ years industry experience review the company’s Executive Summary and provide insight and feedback on the market opportunity.
Investor Screen
Astia Venture Showcases present companies to the broader VC community.
From our founding, we were determined to be bold and intentional in our own investment process as we strategically built the Astia Expert Sift™ infrastructure.
The Sift™ is a proven, robust, data-driven methodology that uses best-in-class tools and wisdom-of-crowds techniques to eliminate bias from the investment process and to identify top performing companies.
