Diversity, Impact & Inclusion

Did you know that Companies with a woman on the founding team outperform their all-male peers by 63 percent? But when it comes to venture capital, Female CEOs get only 2.7 percent of venture funding, women of color get 0.2 percent and only 1% of venture capital funds flow to Hispanic and black entrepreneurs.

While women start companies at twice the rate of men, female-founded companies get only 13 percent of angel funds. This represents a $7 billion funding gap with greater disparities in tech and far fewer options for fashion and consumer lifestyle brands and the entrepreneurs who are building them.

We know firsthand, that it isn’t necessarily the best ideas or the best entrepreneurs who get funded. Often it’s those who fit into the social networks of the top-tier VCs. Today’s funding and support network is a predictable and lookalike bunch that just seems to follow each other around from one trivial idea to another. And with a failure rate of 92%, it’s ripe for disruption and democratization.

We’re democratizing the Venture Capital world and partner with game changers, market insiders and operators to address systemic and behavioral trend changes which have Impact.

Diversity, irreverence and people with atypical backgrounds are who we look for because the only way to change the world is by investing in people who are acutely aware of the changes needed and can execute at a higher level with purpose. We love operationally savvy entrepreneurs with big ideas to make the world a better place.
