Included VC is thrilled to announce that it has successfully raised $20 million in funding to further its mission of enhancing diversity within the venture capital industry. This ambitious initiative aims to empower individuals from diverse and often overlooked communities, providing them with unparalleled access and opportunities in the world of VC. Our fully-funded 5-month fellowship program has proven effective, with 76% of our graduates actively seeking roles in venture capital and successfully securing investment positions within three months of completion. By offering a comprehensive curriculum that includes masterclasses, mentoring, foundational learning, simulation investment committees, and in-person retreats, Included VC offers fellows the tools they need to thrive.
Our fellows are united by a shared passion for entrepreneurialism and technology, and each brings a unique perspective that can enrich the investment landscape. We believe that innovation can stem from any individual, no matter their gender, ethnicity, age, neurodiversity, disability, or belief system. Supported by an esteemed international consortium of venture capital partners, including BITKRAFT, HSBC Ventures, and Microsoft’s M12, Included VC is poised to make a significant impact. We aim to not just transform networks and deal flow but to create a multi-generational change that dramatically increases diversity and maximizes fund success within the industry. Applications for our fellowship are now open, and we invite all aspiring venture capitalists to apply and join us in changing the face of the VC landscape. Together, we are paving the way for a more inclusive future in venture capital.
