About us
We fund the women already building.
Red Pakket is a small, deliberate fund for female founders with real traction and no patience for the traditional VC dance. We move money the way our founders move — quickly, honestly, and with the assumption that you know your business better than we do.
Our mission
More female founders in the world — funded, paid, and free to keep their company.
Most early funding asks female founders to give away the thing they've worked hardest for: ownership. We think that's backwards. The women we back have customers, revenue, and a clear sense of what the next chapter looks like. They don't need a board seat; they need capital that fits.
So we built an alternative. Loans, not equity. Honest terms. Repayment schedules that bend around real business cycles. And a network — operators, advisors, financial guidance — included with every brand we fund.
The founders
Two people. One thesis.
Co-founder
Rachel K Zhang
Raised by an ambitious female founder, Rachel brings her own experience building direct-to-consumer brands and scaling SMEs to Red Pakket. She understands the founder journey from both sides and has a passion for connecting people.
She's spent her career inside female founder communities, building rooms where women can be ambitious without apologising. She is co-founder of She Up Community, and her vision for Red Pakket is simple: more female founders in the world, with the capital to match their ambition.

Co-founder
Raghav
Raghav is the financial and auditing brain of Red Pakket. His background spans entrepreneurship, audit, and the alternative financing models that are quietly reshaping how modern businesses raise money.
He's the one designing the loan structures, stress-testing the unit economics, and making sure every brand we back gets a financing plan that actually works for the way they grow — not the way a spreadsheet wishes they grew.
