Startupbootcamp leads the charge in female founder venture investment
Supercharging Our Diversity Targets One of our aims has always been to support gender- and ethnically diverse teams at any stages in their growth to go from ideation to startup to growth and scaling. In 2018, 30% of the teams who have gone through our programs were led by a female founder - a 7% increase than in 2017. At the end of the day, we want to invest in people, not just in their businesses. In the upcoming years, we are committed to supporting even more under-represented founders who want to make a difference in their community. Together with OneTech, a new programme launched by Capital Enterprise and JP Morgan Chase Foundation, we have started reviewing and improving our processes to target different communities to increase the diversity of the companies we work with.
