ABOUT VC INCLUDE
 
Their Strategy is Focused on Investment Into Historically Underrepresented and Women-led Fund Managers

The VC Include platform was created in 2018 to accelerate investment into historically underrepresented emerging managers — women, Black, Latinx, Indigenous and LGBTQ — to drive economic growth and opportunity in the market. We’re thoughtful about integrating environmental, social, corporate governance (ESG) and sustainability into the funds we support.

They built VC Include as an exclusive ecosystem and marketplace designed for GPs and LPs to expand investment opportunities that improve investment outcomes through the power of diversity. This ecosystem drives alpha to investors while also moving the needle on shaping a more equitable and empowered world. In U.S. capital markets, just 1% of asset managers are diverse or are women.

Despite historic underrepresentation in the investment industry, the funds managed by diverse-owned firms have consistently outperformed in private markets. Venture capitalists are missing out on as much as $4 trillion in value by not investing in more diverse founders. VC Include has built the infrastructure for an inclusive economy and is a forerunner in connecting diverse founders with ESG and impact investing.

VC Include integrates 7 of the 17 United Nation Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Gender Equality, Industry, Innovation and Reduced Inequalities.
