NEW YORK - TelAve -- After years of leadership in private investment and entrepreneurial ventures, Rose Vitale, founder of DRA Family Office, has announced she is stepping down as Managing Partner to dedicate more of her time and resources to philanthropic initiatives focused on empowering women entrepreneurs and expanding access to capital.

Vitale, a serial entrepreneur, investor, and advocate for women-led businesses, has spent the past several years building and leading the DRA Family Office, investing in high-growth companies and strategic ventures. Her decision marks a new chapter focused on mission-driven impact.

"Over the years, I've had the privilege of building companies, investing in visionary founders, and learning firsthand how powerful capital can be when it's aligned with purpose," said Vitale. "Now I want to focus more fully on shifting the flow of capital to women and creating long-term infrastructure that supports female founders at scale."

Vitale plans to expand her philanthropic and nonprofit work through initiatives that support women entrepreneurs globally. A primary focus will be the continued growth of the Female Founders Institute, an organization dedicated to providing women founders with access to funding, mentorship, intellectual property strategy, and scalable business resources.

During her tenure at DRA Family Office, Vitale helped shape a disciplined investment approach centered on long-term value creation and strategic partnerships. Under her leadership, the firm built relationships across multiple industries while supporting entrepreneurs navigating the transition from early-stage growth to institutional capital.

While stepping down from day-to-day leadership, Vitale will remain supportive of the firm's long-term vision and relationships built over the years.

"This transition allows me to dedicate my energy to the work I believe will create the greatest impact over the next decade," Vitale added. "Women receive less than 2% of venture capital globally. Changing that requires more than conversation—it requires new financial models, new institutions, and leaders willing to build them."
