Our impact in the venture community

Impact

Several Venture Forward initiatives were incubated under NVCA before our launch. These initiatives include VC University, LP Office Hours, and the VC Human Capital Survey. Since our founding, we have expanded on these and developed new ones. View our 2021 Impact Report and 2022 impact highlights.

We’d also like to thank our donors and sponsors without whom our impact would not be possible. Get involved to support our work and help us continue our mission!
