Vencapital was created to help improve the pipeline of diverse emerging fund managers. We drive this mission home through our fellowship program that allow fellows to explore and find new career pathways into VC/PE. 
​
We remain a strong supporter of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and serve as a strategic partner in building inclusive systems within venture firms in the US.
