XFactor Ventures is a venture capital firm focused on early-stage investments in startups with at least one female founder or diverse founding team, investing in pre-seed and seed rounds across tech, consumer, healthcare, and related sectors. 

Specific Funding Stage
Pre-Seed / Seed: Core investment focus — most of XFactor’s activity is in very early rounds to support founders when capital is hardest to access. 
Series A: Occasionally participates or co-invests in early institutional rounds but is primarily an early backer. 

Investment Amount and Percentage Equity (Company-Level)
• Check Size: XFactor typically invests ~$125,000 per company in pre-seed/seed stages.
• Other sources note a normal range of ~$100K to ~$150K per investment.
• Equity Taken:
– XFactor does not publicly state a fixed equity percentage it always takes in every investment — equity positions are negotiated per round with founders and co-investors.
– Because it often writes only moderate nursery checks and co-invests with other funds, its ownership stake in a company is typically a meaningful minority position relative to the round size and valuation, but there’s no published universal “Y%” formula. (This is standard in venture capital: equity is set by valuation and round negotiation, not by preset percentages.)
– In practice, with ~$125K checks in early rounds with valuations commonly in the $4–10M+ post-money range, a rough implied ownership might often fall in the single-digit minority range for XFactor’s share alone (e.g., ~1%–8%), but this varies per deal and co-investor structure (not officially published).

Equity Structure:
Investments are usually priced equity (preferred shares) or convertible instruments (standard Seed/Pre-seed venture terms) and equity % is negotiated with founders and co-investors as part of the term sheet.
