Venture Forward’s vision is to drive the human capital, culture, values, and narrative of venture capital, to promote a strong and inclusive community that will fuel the economy of tomorrow. We want to see a venture community in which all feel actively welcome, included, and empowered to succeed.
In pursuit of that vision, we are always happy to support and collaborate with other organizations or firms who share our goals, values, and a focus on one of our four key areas: Diversity, equity and inclusion; education; research and data; and history of VC.
Informal Support
It’s important to us to serve as a good neighbor to the other incredible organizations doing important work in this space. We are generally happy to feature or promote relevant organizations, programming, resources, or events, provided they align with our values and goals. You can find instructions to submit events or community resources on the contact page, or you can get in touch with us at hello@ventureforward.org.
Formal Partnerships
Formal partnerships may take a variety of forms, including programmatic collaboration; one-off events; research projects; sponsorship of our programs or services; and more. Venture Forward has partnered with Startup@BerkeleyLaw, the Computer History Museum, filmmaker Robin Hauser, and private entities, among others. If you have an idea for a partnership that aligns with one of our four areas of focus, please reach out to us at hello@ventureforward.org.
