The Cap Table Coalition was inspired by the Act One Diversity Rider for VCs and Finix’s unique fundraising efforts to diversify startup cap tables. The Coalition’s goal is to make it as easy as possible for all companies and firms to join the movement. Only 3% of venture capital investors are Black or Latinx. Only 1.1% of all private funds have Black, Latinx, or women managers. More than 80% of VC firms don't have a single black investor. In 2020, 65% of venture firms still had zero female partners.
