Whether you’re a first-time fund or an established player, this toolkit helps VC funds embed inclusive, equitable, and data-driven practices into every part of their operations – the foundation for lasting success.
What’s Inside:
- Clear, practical guidance for embedding inclusion across fund operations and decision-making
- Six key focus areas: strategy and leadership, hiring, people development, policies, transparency, and communications
- Real-world examples and insights from over 100 funds
- Designed for all fund sizes – from small teams to multi-office firms
Why it Matters:
Inclusion and social responsibility are no longer side conversations, they are strategic imperatives. As LPs increasingly scrutinize internal practices and founders expect alignment with inclusive values, getting this right is critical not just for impact, but for performance and reputation.
How to Use It:
- Assess where you are today
- Identify opportunities for improvement
- Build internal systems that scale with your fund

Building an inclusive venture ecosystem requires intentional, strategic action — not just good intentions. The toolkit is a timely and practical resource that equips firms to operationalize DEI in meaningful ways, laying the foundation for stronger teams, better decision-making, and long-term value creation.
