Our investment
pipeline diversity

 Diversity of thought and experience leads to the best business decisions. We’re committed to sharing the diversity of our investment pipeline in line with the Equity Clear initiative.

Women founders

We define women to include all women, regardless of the gender they were assigned at birth, and acknowledge that gender is a spectrum. Where possible, this data is self-reported and therefore represents our best understanding of our pipeline given the variety of ways we connect with founders. Due to the small sample sizes and limited historical data, this dataset does not currently include non-binary founders.
