A new diversity 'standard' for VCs ๐คhttps://sifted.eu/articles/diversity-vc-standard-launch/
Morning Elphas ๐I just wanted to highlight a piece of news from the VC world in Europe!Yesterday a new 'standard' for diversity in VC launched in order to encourage funds to be more transparent and proactive when it comes to diversity & inclusion. The 'standard' includes a range of best practices and an assessment process that VCs can go through in order to achieve a certification (kind of like a Fairtrade mark).A number of firms have already agreed to go through the certification (Notion, Atomico etc.) so if, you're fundraising in Europe, keep an eye out for the badge on their website!I definitely don't think this is the single answer to improving diversity & inclusion in the VC space, but it's a start and so I wanted to share.Hope you all have a great day!
