Pinklight was launched in 2017 to accelerate the growth of high-potential, women-led firms across private equity, venture capital, private credit, and value-add infrastructure/energy.

About Pinklight Propel

Pinklight Propel sessions are designed to simulate a real-world fundraising environment. Participating GPs present their strategy to a panel of LPs—including representatives from family offices, endowments, foundations, and pension plans—as well as an experienced GP founder or senior fundraising advisor. Panelists serve as a trusted sounding board, providing confidential and candid feedback on:
- Investment strategy
- Presentation content and delivery
- Positioning and differentiation
- Institutional fundraising approach

Application Process

Interested firms are invited to complete an application, outlining their strategy and relevant details.

The Pinklight committee will review all applications and may be in touch with candidates to collect more information.

Pinklight Propel operates on a structured quarterly cadence, including:
- Application submission and review
- Propel sessions featuring focused pitch presentations, Q&A, and open discussion

Selected participants will have an opportunity to join a cohort of peers and participate in year-round Pinklight founder programming to complement PEWIN events, featuring candid founder insights from peers and ecosystem thought leaders.

Pinklight Propel participants don't pay any fee to participate in the program.
