Athena Alliance, a Moss Beach, CA-based professional development community for executive and board-ready women, raised $2.5M in Seed funding.

The round, which brought the total amount to $2.5M, was led by Leonas Capital.

The company intends to use the funds to expand its leadership, education, and sales teams, and make further investments in member services, including courses and content. With this investment, Athena also intends to expand its newly launched Athena Academy, a suite of customized career and coaching programs.

Founded by Coco Brown, Athena Alliance is a learning community and platform that provides personalized access to on-demand learning, one-on-one executive coaching and a mix of virtual and in-person networking for “in the know” executives. It caters to people who work at a diverse range of organizations, from venture-backed, growth-stage startups to Fortune 50 companies.

To date, the company has supported more than 400 women to join corporate boards, including Bose, Dropbox, Zillow, and PNC Bank, among others.
