Elaine Kunda’s Disruption Ventures makes Hostfully its first woman-led deal
Canadian women-focused venture firm Disruption Ventures cut its first cheque, backing a startup that serves the fast-emerging vacation-rentals sector. Disruption invested in the US$1 million seed round of Hostfully, a San Francisco software provider that helps rental-property managers streamline operations and engage with guests. Disruption Managing Partner Elaine Kunda said Hostfully matches the type of woman-founded startup her firm is looking to back. Kunda in 2018 launched Disruption to invest up to $1 million in North American early-stage tech companies founded and managed by female entrepreneurs. A second deal, this one located in Canada, is in the offing, Kunda said.
