-
Why is this year’s event focused on General Partners, Partners, Principals and Emerging Managers at specific fund sizes?
All Raise’s VC Summit is the biggest gathering for female and non-binary active check writers. The environment is specifically designed to support senior investors at the GP, Partner, or Principal level at funds with $25M AUM or greater, and Emerging Managers with funds $10M AUM or greater to help them become wildly successful and pave the way for the next generation. Additional opportunities for women and non-binary investors to connect through All Raise will be announced in the coming months. We welcome everyone to connect with a local All Raise chapter.
-
Why is this a woman and non-binary only Summit?
Our data shows that 86% of decision makers in venture capital are men, and we’re here to change that. All Raise’s VC Summit is the biggest gathering for female and non-binary venture investors at the GP, Partner and Principal level, in an environment designed to specifically support them in their career. We select some of our most engaged and supportive male allies to share their perspective and deepen their support of the women and non-binary people in venture capital.
-
How are attendees chosen?
The content of the All Raise VC Summit is meant to be actionable which is why we limit attendance to active investors at the General Partner, Partner, and Principal level across established and emerging funds. Women and non-binary investors come to personally network and share deals in a candid and safe environment. Being mindful of capacity limitations, we do our best to be as inclusive as possible across geographies, racial/ethnic/gender background, volunteer involvement, sectors, and stages of career.
-
Do you have an age requirement?
You must be over 21 to attend in person. Please note the qualifications listed above for who may attend.

Can I expense my ticket with my firm?
We encourage all VC firms to allow the women and non-binary investors in their firms to expense their tickets. All Raise is a nonprofit powered by the support of volunteers, personal, and corporate contributions. The content of All Raise VC Summit is designed to help women and non-binary GP, Partner, and Principal level investors supercharge their professional development and insights as a VC.
-
Are tickets tax-deductible because All Raise is a non-profit?
