VC Include is an exclusive ecosystem and marketplace designed for General Partners and Limited Partners (GPs and LPs) to expand investment opportunities that improve investment outcomes through the power of diversity. This ecosystem drives alpha to investors while also moving the needle on shaping a more equitable and empowered world. VC Include has built the infrastructure for an inclusive economy and is a forerunner in connecting diverse founders with environmental, social and governance (ESG) and impact investing. Through advisory services for fundraising strategy, marketing materials and pitch workshops with LPs for insight and advice on fund thesis and strategy, VC Include empowers organizations to utilize diversity as a driver for success. VC Include quantifiably drives many of the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 set by the United Nations, including gender equality, industry, innovation and reduced inequalities.
VC Include is currently facilitating its pilot Fellowship program focused on BIPOC and women first-time fund managers. The 9-month Fellowship is designed to help these fund managers accelerate their fundraising efforts, provide training and give them access to top asset managers and investors looking to broaden their diverse fund manager connections. The VCI Fellowship was launched with seed capital from the Visa Foundation, UBS, Blue Haven Initiative and the MacArthur Foundation
