From a bold pledge to capital in action.

What started as a commitment became a movement—
💡 1,302 women-led companies funded
💡 $1.04Bn+ deployed (and counting)

We continue to believe in #MeritInMotion as do @allraiseorg, affirmed in their recent report:
🔹 A 10% rise in female partners = 1.5% boost in fund returns
🔹 Diverse teams outperform
🔹 Representation isn’t charity—it’s strategy

To our community: thank you for making #MeritInMotion a reality.

A female founder is…

From founders to funders, the words may differ, but the message is the same: When women lead, innovation follows. 🚀

At @beyondthebillion, together with our community, we continue to show that fueling women-led innovation isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing to do.

What began as a pledge became a movement and a legacy. ✨ 
From a billion-dollar call to action to more than a billion dollars deployed into women-founded companies, this is the story of what happens when capital meets conviction.

As Beyond The Billion celebrates the FIRST BILLION DEPLOYED, join us as we look back at how it all began. Like all great stories, it starts with an audacious goal.

A love letter to the women who dared to build. 📮

To every founder who turned challenge into change. To every investor who chose to back brilliance over bias. To every believer who said yes before the world did.

You are the reason we have reached this milestone as a community, and the reason the work will continue.

It started with a billion-dollar pledge and became a billion-dollar impact.

In 2018, we launched The Billion Dollar Fund for Women to close the gender venture gap. 
By 2019, one billion dollars was pledged. 
Today, more than $1.04 Billion has been deployed to 1,302 women-founded companies through our 120+ partner funds around the world.

When the world invests in women, ideas turn into impact.

When we launched Beyond The Billion®, it was about more than just changing the funding landscape for female founders — it was about allyship.

At our post-event sit-down with our Co-Founders & Managing Partners, Sarah Chen-Spellings and Shelly Porges at Carla Zampatti, we were reminded why this mission matters:

✨ Men stepping forward as allies in closing the gender gap.
✨ The transparency demonstrated by Rick Baker and Blackbird VC (@blackbirdvc) makes their impact tangible.
✨ Women-led funds, like Carol Schwartz AO (@cazzmelbourne)’s Female Led Ventures, leading the change.
✨ And above all, the willingness and togetherness it takes to bridge the funding gap.

As we celebrate the $1B deployment milestone as a community, what excites us most is knowing this spirit of collaboration will continue to power the next generation of founders and funds.

Because when you invest in women, you’re in good company.

All Raise’s latest Annual Report reveals how representation is changing and where there’s still work to be done.

Since 2017, the share of women in VC Partner+ roles has doubled from 9% to 18.6%. At firms with $1B+ AUM, that number now approaches 20% — a key seat at the capital allocation table.

📈 Women and nonbinary leaders are rising in VC – hitting All Raise’s major milestones three years early.

All Raise isn’t just tracking change, they’re building the infrastructure to sustain it:
💡 102% YoY growth in membership
💡A growing community of 900+ investors managing over $1.06T in AUM, with 50%+ are at Partner level or above

We at Beyond The Billion are proud to support All Raise as they continue to push the industry forward—proving that diversity isn’t just a metric; it’s a competitive advantage. 🚀

Top-performing VCs are shifting the landscape —
✅ 70% of the 10 best-performing VC firms by vintage year are new or emerging managers (Funds I–IV).
⭐️ 21% are led by women or people of color — 10x the industry average.
🚀 The percentage of diverse managers tripled in the past three years (13% ➡️ 37%).

They are no longer merely outliers; they are now the outperformers.

As Jasmine Richards, CFA, Managing Director & Head of Diverse Manager Investing at Cambridge Associates puts it:

“This growth highlights not only the increasing presence of diverse managers in the industry but also the expanding opportunities for outperformance among non-traditional and underrepresented groups.”

If you think you know what performance and representation really look like—think again.
