About
BDC Capital's site says the Thrive Venture Fund makes direct investments in women-led technology businesses from pre-seed through Series B. Dollar figures on the page are not stored. The page does not state a headquarters city, so this page does not store one.
The DropGenie release says BDC Thrive Venture Fund invested alongside Skeleton Key in the financing announced on 2026-10-26. It does not name a lead. BetaKit says Skeleton Key had led and that BDC's Thrive Fund joined. The issue does not name a lead, so the round page does not mark one.
This page is not indexed by search engines yet. It is promoted once it meets the quality gate for investor pages: a description from the firm's own website, a headquarters city and at least two two-sourced rounds on this site.
