Our mission is to democratize access to the venture capital industry, empower individuals from all backgrounds and geographies to thrive as investors, and equip future VC leaders with the tools for long-term success. We support emerging fund managers and investors by providing education, mentorship, and resources to advance their careers. We guide VC firms in building people practices and cultures that ensure strong industry stewardship for the future.
Historically, the positive power of venture capital has not reached all communities across the country. Venture Forward is committed to changing this by addressing industry imbalances and creating pathways for broader representation, access, and opportunities. A VC community that better reflects our country can unlock greater innovation, economic impact, and financial returns.
Driving meaningful change within VC takes time, and we are proud to play our part. From empowering new and emerging investors to supporting VC firms in building sustainable people practices, our work is creating a more vibrant and sustainable ecosystem. Learn about the impact we’ve made and hear directly from our community about how we’re shaping the future of the industry.
We frequently share information about our programs, research, professional development resources, industry news, job openings, and more.
