Bio
Bhargavi Varma is the founder of Brown Girl Angels, a global collective of South Asian women investors, venture capitalists and founders built to close the funding gap for South Asian female founders. She has written checks into over 10 South Asian female led companies and is on a mission to get more brown women to do the same, shifting our culture’s relationship with money from scarcity to abundance, and building an ecosystem where we back each other for real.
Alongside BGA, she runs the sister brand Brown Girls, Money Moves, a community and media brand with a podcast, a newsletter, and an event series dedicated to the money conversations South Asian women deserve to be having. It’s the first newsletter by and for South Asian women in the investment space, another gesture toward inclusion.
Through thought leadership, community, and candid amplification of the lived experiences of South Asian women, Bhargavi is bridging the gap in angel investing by mobilizing South Asian women to become angel investors themselves.
She co parents a 13 year old, built all of this as a solo founder, and chose to start this particular chapter at 50.
