Elisa Miller-Out is Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Chloe Capital, a venture capital firm that invests in tech projects led by women. Elisa is an experienced tech entrepreneur and investor, an active board member for multiple organizations, a teacher, a mentor, and more. She’s been featured in publications from The New York Times to Forbes and speaks about technology and entrepreneurship at events nationwide.

Chloe Capital has won many awards and recognitions—thanks to the hard work of Elisa and her team—and was recently selected as the 2023 Emerging Impact Manager for the esteemed ImpactAssets 50™. Impact Assets recognized Chloe Capital as a Top 50 impact investment fund worldwide and highlighted its commitment to actionable objectives in climate change mitigation.

It’s no secret Elisa’s schedule is hectic. To help manage her busy calendar, Elisa enlisted the help of a WBN remote professional, Elis, who manages her schedule, prepares her business trips, checks references for the Chloe Capital Startup Pipeline due diligence process, requests quarterly financial updates, and more. This enables Elisa to handle the challenges of managing a capital fund more smoothly and focus more on business-related issues, rather than administrative work.

Chloe Capital, an Ithaca-based movement-driven venture capital firm, announced it is partnering with Bank of America to advance equality and economic opportunity for women and minority-led businesses.

Bank of America has long supported Women@Work. The company’s investment in Chloe Capital’s Fund I is part of its commitment to increase the amount of capital available to under-represented founders and foster long-term opportunities, according to a press release.

Bank of America has dedicated $350 million to women and minority-led companies through capital investments in mission-focused venture funds, like Chloe Capital. To date, more than $300 million has been committed to 100+ minority-focused and minority-led equity funds in just over one year.

“Bank of America’s investment in Chloe Capital reinforces our ongoing efforts to address the continuous gap in access to capital and to deploy more into emerging companies led by diverse entrepreneurs,” said David Cornell, President of Bank of America Albany-Hudson Valley. “By investing in a fund managed by diverse leaders, who in turn invest in women and BIPOC-led companies, we’re collectively helping to initiate representation at all levels and we believe that Chloe Capital is well-positioned to drive real change.”

Founded by women, Chloe Capital is a seed-stage venture capital firm investing in women-led technology companies with diverse leadership teams. The firm has built its portfolio value to over $700 million and is widely recognized as a leader in diversity and inclusion.
