Oh wow the numbers are changing in the right direction: from 5.7% female decision makers in 2016 to 14.2% this year. BUT: it’s still appalling AND women are also just one dimension; ver much looking forward to finishing Better Venture with Erika Brodnock to push for more

Erika Brodnock and I just did what might be the last interview for Better Venture — talking about mental health in startups and specifically also the VCs’ responsibility. A fantastic conversation we’re looking forward to sharing with you all soon

About last night... To sum it up, I use this word sparingly: exhilarating✨ We can't wait to see the magic you create together #NVP01 ... the seeds we plant today will grow into the sequoias of tomorrow 🌳🌳🌳

I have been working on Better Venture with Erika Brodnock Holloway for a while but have so far not shared more details on how the idea for this book came about. Here goes. link.medium.com/YSMJZ6g5Cgb

For the last months Erika Brodnock and I have been interviewing VCs and tech operators alike on DEI for our book Better Venture. One of the most cited excuses why people still don’t act: not enough data! That’s nonsense, we argue in this piece for Sifted

So excited to forge this partnership with SVB UK is now HSBC Innovation Banking UK LocalGlobe London Business School to train the tech investors of our future. Newton Venture Program seeds the future of VC with greater diversity and representation - putting currently overlooked groups into the seats of decision-making power.

Had a lot of fun with this conversation - thank you so much @Sherrell_Dorsey and annalieseg (and obviously my fantastic Better Venture co author Erika Brodnock)

Ed Zimmerman Kate Brodock @TheFourthFloor4 First Close Partners Ada Ventures We got the perfect article for this purpose Erika Brodnock Better Venture sifted.eu/articles/vc-di…

One of the reasons for putting this book together - VC has enormous power in the world of tech which we need to scrutinise more. Sign up to listen to Dr Johannes Lenhard and the whole A BETTER TECH!

This is one of the most important pieces of research I have worked on with a fantastic team over the last two years: assessing whether modular homes work for people experiencing homelessness. Our findings are very promising indeed 🎉 1/

Thank you Paul Lewis for pushing our research into the world MaxCam Centre @CCHPR1; this is one of the most important research projects I (co-)led so far. The bottom line: modular homes are a fantastic housing option for many people experiencing homelessness!

Fantastic - even some BBC coverage today :)
