All Raise is an organization focused on increasing diversity in the tech venture capital industry, particularly aiming to increase the representation of female decision-makers in U.S. tech venture firms and early-stage seed investment in female founders.

All Raise

All Raise is on a mission to accelerate the success of female and non-binary founders and funders to build a more prosperous, equitable future. Born out of a grassroots movement in 2017, our programs arm women with access, guidance, and support to advance their professional growth. When the architects of tomorrow better reflect the world, our world is better served.

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:

1️⃣ 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)

2️⃣ 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.

3️⃣ 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.

The crucial role of male allies in the success of women and nonbinary individuals in venture capital and technology cannot be overstated. 💡

According to an All Raise survey, nearly all respondents reported experiencing beneficial support from men. This support includes:

✅ Advocacy for hiring
✅ Promotions
✅ Funding
✅ Partnerships on co-investments
✅ Introductions to top founders
✅ Mentorship

The data is clear: diverse teams win!

She jumps. And she knows a thing or two about dinosaurs 🦖

33-year-old Byrony Page of Great Britain just keeps soaring higher, this time, winning gold for trampolining at the #Paris2024 Olympics. She added this medal to her collection of silver and bronze from Rio and Tokyo, respectively—and whether she knows it or not, she’s easily inspiring us all to dream big and work hard at everything we love to do ❤️
