Accelerating investment into historically underrepresented emerging managers at scale
THE FIRST NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION BUILDING IMPACT-DRIVEN, DIVERSE EMERGING MANAGER ECOSYSTEMS
MISSION + VISION
Our mission is to increase diversity in alternative investments – specifically in the Venture Capital and Private Equity asset classes – in order to accelerate more equitable access to capital and expand investment opportunities into the next generation of tech-enabled companies.
Only 1.4% of all U.S. assets under management are managed by women and people of color. It’s time for that to change. Our goal is to increase the 1.4% diverse manager data point 10X by 2030.
