Venture capital’s longtime leading lobbyist group has launched a new non-profit to support diversity and education efforts free of its policy ties.
The National Venture Capital Association announced on Tuesday that it had launched Venture Forward, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with close links to the NVCA but a separate board of directors. Venture Forward has raised $5.5 million from more than 60 donors so far led by Silicon Valley Bank, says executive director Maryam Haque.
