Global Women in VC

This year has been monumental for All Raise, and our CEO Paige Hendrix Buckner is eager to share our collective progress! Here are some takeaways: 1?? We’re trending in the right direction and outpacing the expected time to achieve our goals. The proportion of women decision-makers in VC firms has nearly doubled to 17.4%! (For firms with $50M AUM or greater) 2?? Diversity leads to triumph! Research confirms that diverse teams yield better returns. As noted by Harvard Business Review, venture capital firms that increased their proportion of female partner hires by 10% saw, on average, a 1.5% spike in overall fund returns each year and had 9.7% more profitable exits. 3?? Male allyship is essential. Our community survey reveals that 98% of respondents acknowledge the positive impact of male allies in hiring, funding, and mentorship endeavors. As a collective, we can rewire the industry from the inside. We've made substantial progress, but we still have much work ahead. We are deeply grateful to our team, volunteers, and Board members for their steadfast commitment.

Launched with an initial target of $5 million to $8 million, Emmeline Ventures raised the target for its debut fund to $25 million after abundant interest from institutional LPs and is now close to holding a final close. "What I think is really special is we have this incredible group of folks, mainly newly wealthy women, that have been left out of the venture asset class, and then you have your expertise leaning in with the founders to make sure they succeed," firm co-founder and general partner La Keisha Landrum Pierre told me. "It's like this sort of golden trifecta, and it makes what we're doing really special." Along with co-founders Naseem Sayani (she/her) and Azin Radsan van Alebeek, Landrum Pierre plans to target a portfolio of 50 percent women's health companies, 30 percent financial services companies and 20 percent sustainability companies.
