Only 10% of VC partners are women and 71% of VC firms have no female investors on their teams. Furthermore, in 2018, 12% of VC funding went to companies with female founders. Promoting women and diversity in tech is core to tackling the world’s biggest issues and building the strongest businesses. All Raise is dedicated to accelerating the success of female founders and funders in the next 5-10 years. This panel is dedicated to discussing how VCs are pushing boundaries to implement change within their organizations and how that can impact the broader tech ecosystem.
