About the organisers

Project #MovingForward is a social movement working to make policies in venture capital more inclusive and available. See CNN and WIRED.

We help VC firms to shape and publish policies related to harassment and discrimination that apply to third-parties like entrepreneurs, and publish those policies on our website VentureMovingForward.org.

We work with 135+ venture capital firms in 20 countries, including Atomico, Balderton, Octopus, Entrepreneur First, Sequoia, Greylock, Softbank, Y Combinator, GV, and many more.
