VC Lab has a set of benchmarks and incentives to change the face of venture capital.
The Female Venture 50 (FV 50) was started in May of 2022 to ensure that there is an equal number of women working as peers to men in the global venture capital market. The initiative seeks to have women in all roles, from support staff to partners and managing partners.
