Speaker Bio

Sarah Anto is the founder of FundHER and a renowned startup strategist who has helped hundreds of women tech founders secure millions in funding.


Her passion ignited while mentoring at Y-Combinator and Techstars, where she repeatedly heard women share how they were overlooked for funding in favor of their male counterparts.


Determined to make a difference, Sarah launched FundHER to provide 1:1 coaching and later founded FundHER Collective, a community designed to help first-time women tech founders build traction, connect with investors, and navigate fundraising with confidence. She is also a doctoral researcher in AI ethics, exploring how technology and funding systems can become more inclusive and equitable.
