Over #fundright

#FundRight is a VC initiated movement to ensure a more diverse investment ecosystem, at both the VC level and the portfolio company level. As #FundRight, we commit to submitting data to Techleap.nl to track our progress in achieving our goal of a diverse ecosystem, including 35% women by 2023.

Why are we needed? Currently only 6% of partners at Dutch VC firms are women and only 16% of venture capital firms invest in teams with a female founder. On top of this, since 2008 only a mere 0,8% of all venture capital funds have been invested in female founded teams.

Setting a target will help keep diversity on top of the agenda and transform behaviours in the way VC firms source deals, hire talent and discuss gender diversity with their portfolio companies. This will result in better decision-making, financing for a diverse group of entrepreneurs and better financial results. Ultimately, this will lead to a more inclusive society where businesses, products and services are made for everyone. We all have a responsibility here.
