Our Story
When Women Rise, Economies Thrive
At Kerubin Capital, we believe in the power of female entrepreneurs to transform industries, create jobs, and drive economic growth.
Yet despite overwhelming evidence that investing in women-led businesses leads to stronger financial returns, female founders still receive only a fraction of global investment capital. We exist to change that.
Our journey began with a simple but powerful realization: women are building incredible businesses, but they lack access to the funding and networks they need to scale.
We saw firsthand how difficult it was for women-led startups to secure investments. Not because they lack innovation or leadership, but because of outdated biases and systemic barriers that persist in the investment world.
Founded in 2021, Kerubin Capital was built with the support of Investing in Women and the Manila Angel Investors Network (MAIN).
From day one, our mission was clear: to be a catalyst in funding and developing early-stage, female-led companies in the Philippines—a country brimming with talent, opportunity, and untapped potential.
Turning Vision into Action
We’re not just talking about change—we’re making it happen. Through a powerful mix of investment, mentorship, and strategic business connections, we help female founders break through barriers and secure the funding they deserve. By collaborating with MAIN and our global partners, we provide not just capital, but the right network and expertise to help women-led startups succeed.
