Industry: Venture Capital Fund
Visionary Member: Bahiyah Yasmeen Robinson, Founding Partner of Include Ventures: a holistic ecosystem that drives alpha, inclusion and impact
Highlights:
Unparalleled Ecosystem: The IV investment vehicles are based on the solid foundation that Bahiyah Robinson created when she founded VC Include, a leader in the emerging manager space providing value-added services for limited partners as well as diverse and women-led funds and companies.
Large Proprietary Database: The IV ecosystem provides a proprietary source of deal flow from diverse or women-led funds and companies. IV’s force-rank system of leading diverse and women-led fund managers and companies is a critical element for institutional investors seeking successful investments in the emerging manager space.
Strong Investment Team: The IV team has an institutional-grade investment team with over 100 years of private equity, venture capital, corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, asset management, ecosystem, impact investing and emerging manager experience.
Well-Defined Investment Strategy: As diversity, emerging manager, ESG and early-stage investment experts, the IV team members identify gaps in the early-stage investment opportunities by targeting companies with exceptional market potential, strong management teams and unique competitive advantages. In short, we seek to invest in early-stage, industry-leading funds and companies with diverse management teams that have passed our rigorous 5-step investment review processes.
Strategic Partnership Focus: IV is looking for investors as well as strategic partners who want to invest in the emerging manager, diversity and ESG spaces. Fund managers and limited partners select IV because of our ecosystem of 500+ emerging manager funds and 1,000+ company pipeline. IV is a strategic partner seeking investors and partners that can also be accretive.
Customized Investment Approach: IV offers optionality to investors that want to invest in either funds or operating companies that offer superior return potential, which enables institutional investors to allocate assets relative to their risk-return profile. Further, as primary investors in funds, IV obtains access to emerging GPs’ best deals.
Impact at Scale: Include Ventures focuses on large addressable markets and seeks to partner with GPs and companies that are attacking significant issues on a global basis. IV’s principals have had tremendous success generating industry-leading returns while also creating impact at scale through our investment efforts.
