Pivotal Ventures

Founded by Melinda French Gates, Pivotal Ventures accelerates social progress in the United States by removing barriers that hold people back. Pivotal Ventures expands opportunity and accelerates equality in the United States through high-impact investments, partnerships, and advocacy. We focus on areas where social progress has stalled—and where we can have the biggest impact. We invest in women-led funds and series A to C companies that are aligned with our mission. We’re out to prove that a commitment to diversity can deliver meaningful financial returns—and unlock market-based solutions to a range of social problems.
