    Building a fairer and more diverse Venture Capital industry

    Diversity VC is an international nonprofit operating in the VC Ecosystem. Our mission is for every venture fund to have the understanding, tools, and resources to promote diversity and inclusion in both their firms and the companies they fund. Our ultimate objective is for the venture capital industry to represent the rich tapestry of society, which we in turn believe will generate better decision making and higher returns.

    Our work includes:

    • NETWORK: A community of more than 100 funds worldwide committed to increasing diversity & inclusion in the venture capital ecosystem
    • TOOLS: The Diversity VC Standard, a diagnostic tool and resource library for funds with guidance for how to improve internal operations, deal flow, and portfolio management
    • TALENT: Future VC (futurevc.com), an internship program giving underrepresented talent on-the-job experience in the industry and a lifelong network for support
    • DATA: Investigation and data reports on diversity in the VC industry in order to educate those within and outside the industry on this topic and make recommendations on how to tackle the issues

    Diversity VC is sponsored by Morgan Stanley, Amazon Web Services, Cooley, and HSBC Innovation Banking.

🚀 Our New People & Culture Toolkit is Live! 🌟

We’re thrilled to share our People & Culture Toolkit - Latam Edition on inclusive hiring, culture and people development, created in partnership with Google for Startups! This resource provides VC-specific guidance on best practices for fostering an inclusive culture and hire with an inclusive lens. 🤝

Research shows that diverse teams can increase returns by up to 35%, driving innovation and growth. 📈 By focusing on internal inclusivity, we’re not just enhancing our workplaces—we’re investing in high-performing teams and directing VC capital to diverse founders of startups. 💡

This toolkit wouldn’t be possible without the VC funds that shared their experiences and provided invaluable contributions. A huge thank you to ALIVE Ventures, Amplifica Capital, Iporanga Ventures, Vulcano, and SP Ventures for your participation and for demonstrating your commitment to a more inclusive venture capital sector.

Curious to learn more? You can access the full toolkit below!

Thank you to all the GPs, LPs, and ecosystem builders who joined us this week for the launch of our People & Culture toolkit - Latam Edition in New York! 🎉
A special thanks to Google for this partnership, along with Cubo Itaú and IDB Lab. 🙌

🌟We enjoyed an engaging panel featuring leaders who shared their experiences in implementing DEI practices in People Operations. Thank you to Carolina Lustosa from IDB Lab, Candice Morgan from GV (Google Ventures), Francisco Jardim from SP Ventures, and Matias Peire from GRIDX for their invaluable insights.

🔑 The importance of having honest conversations among the fund's Partners about their understanding of DEI.
🤝 To support portfolio companies in their DEI journey, we need to adopt a tailored approach for each one.

We also presented case studies from our toolkit and facilitated roundtable discussions focused on practical applications for fostering inclusive hiring and cultural processes within the funds. We hope the ideas and solutions shared will foster positive change within the funds! 🚀🚀
