Dasha Shunina is the Founder of Women Tech Meetup, a regular monthly event held in San Francisco, Miami, and NYC, bringing together female professionals in the spheres of technology entrepreneurship, innovation, and venture capital.
Before Day One, Masha founded a PR studio that achieved 8-figure revenue, with a third of the companies she worked with becoming unicorns. Her notable clients included PandoDoc, Gett, HotelTonight, Houzz, WeWork, and many more. Upon exiting her PR studio, Masha became an angel investor, achieving remarkable results: 11x DPI , 15x MOIC , and 113% net IRR .
Recently, Masha Bucher raised a $150M Fund III, one of the two largest funds raised by a female solo GP in the past 12 months. The fund is backed by US and European institutional investors, 10 unicorn founders, 14 of Day One Ventures’ portfolio founders, several family offices, and heads of private equity firms and larger funds from nearly 20 countries. Masha said the hardest thing about closing this fund was finding female LPs, though the efforts were fruitful.
Founders they back include Sam Altman , Job van der Voort , Suhail Doshi , Marc Bell , Richard Socher , Nolan Church , and Payal Kadakia . Frequent co-investors include Accel, A16Z, Sequoia, Founders Fund, YC, Index, and Khosla. The current fund’s net IRR is 48%, six times higher than the median net IRR for 2020 <$250M funds in North America, according to Pitchbook. Portfolio companies are valued at $115B+ in aggregate with $2B+ raised. Day One Ventures has $450M assets under management. 80% of Fund II portfolio companies were introduced by their founders.“The problem is that women think they need to act like men to become successful. The reality is I want to be myself.
