Our Purpose

As a non-profit, we exist to transform venture capital from the inside out. We believe an inclusive industry isn't just the right thing to do, it's what unlocks better returns, stronger teams, and sustainable economic growth for everyone. We set the standards, provide the data, and build the community that's changing the industry for good.

By combining data-driven insights with a system change approach, we spotlight the true cost of excluding diverse founders and drive action to close those gaps. We're committed to accelerating measurable change across the UK VC ecosystem.

Our work is grounded in rigorous research and real-world impact, driving systemic change across the venture capital ecosystem through evidence-based insights and actionable frameworks.
