OUR WHY

Venture capitalists are missing out on up to $4 trillion in untapped market opportunities by overlooking innovative, high-potential founders and investments that drive sustainable economic growth.

The VC Include platform was created in 2018 to unlock untapped market opportunities by accelerating investment into emerging fund managers. Our mission is to empower these fund managers to drive innovation, invest in tech-enabled companies, and foster sustainable economic growth.

We built VC Include as a dynamic ecosystem and marketplace, connecting General Partners (GPs) and Limited Partners (LPs) to generate strong returns while shaping a resilient and forward-looking investment landscape.

VC Include is building the infrastructure for a sustainable economy and is a leader in bridging fund managers and investors with opportunities in impact investing.

We align with 7 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Industry, Innovation, Infrastructure, and Decent Work and Economic Growth, integrating these principles into our mission to create long-term value and measurable outcomes.
