Better Ventures Closes $21M for Fund II and Backs Werk

Better Ventures announced their pre-seed investment in Werk, a New York-based startup that is creating a marketplace of flexible job opportunities for women and a venture closes $21M for Fund II.

The firm raised $1M in the round with involvement from seed-stage venture companies Precursor Ventures, Halogen Ventures, Montage Ventures, and Social Starts. Werk will utilize the capital to create the product presenting and expand their pool of job searchers within their membership-based structure. The firm suits well within their opportunity investment theme (sub-theme: Future of Work), and they are bullish towards their capability to unfasten the vast dormant potential of keeping more women in the workforce. 

On the other hand, they are thrilled to announce that they held a final close on Better Ventures Fund II, raising $21M and brought on Prudential as their new institutional investor.
