Better Venture is a first-of-its-kind guide to diversity and inclusion in startups and venture capital-who funds, who gets funded, and how the industry can change.
The industry’s lack of diversity and inclusion not only compromises moral standing-it means overlooking profitable businesses and talented founders. That costs hundreds of millions of dollars a year, and neglects ideas that could serve the needs of many more people.
In this collection of interviews, stories, and research, we use the momentum that has been building in recent years to expand the conversation about DEI, venture capital, and the startup ecosystem, and to inspire more concrete action.
Highlights:
- 43 in-depth conversations with leading investors, entrepreneurs, and researchers, making it one of the most comprehensive and diverse sets of perspectives on the startup ecosystem ever assembled in one place.
- An economic history of venture capital through a diversity lens.
- On-the-ground stories from founders and VCs that explore ways to create a more diverse, inclusive, equitable, and profitable venture ecosystem.

That’s why we came together to write this book and are bringing in so many voices to clarify the picture of what is and what could be.
Over the course of two years of research and discussion with almost 100 experts, we set out to answer four questions:
We hope this book and the conversations it contains help fulfill the vision of a more diverse, inclusive, and profitable ecosystem.
It’s time venture got better.
