All Raise is a San Francisco-based nonprofit organization that provides mentorship, networking, and advocacy programs to support female and non-binary founders and investors in the technology and venture capital sectors.

Since its inception, more than 1,780 entrepreneurs have participated in its bootcamps and masterclasses, which are designed to help startups scale from the pre-seed stage through Series A. To finance its ongoing operations and expansion, the group secured an $11 million philanthropic funding round in 2020 backed by major partners such as Pivotal Ventures and Silicon Valley Bank. All Raise was founded in 2017 by a coalition of senior female venture capitalists, spearheaded by Aileen Lee of Cowboy Ventures and Jess Lee of Sequoia.

All Raise is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the success of women and nonbinary founders and investors in the venture-backed tech ecosystem by making it more accessible, equitable, and diverse.[1][3][6] Its mission centers on shifting power, moving money toward diverse leaders, and changing culture through data-driven programs, with specific goals like doubling female decision-makers at U.S. tech VC firms with over $25M AUM from 9% to 18% by 2028, and increasing early-stage seed investment in female founders from 11% to 23% by 2030.[3] All Raise impacts the startup ecosystem via founder bootcamps, VC cohorts, mentoring, events, and a community of over 3,000 women and nonbinary investors, providing resources like fundraising masterclasses, deal flow networks, and peer support that have served 1,780+ founders since 2017.[3][4]
The organization emphasizes measurable outcomes, earning the 2024 Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency and 4 Stars from Charity Navigator, while committing to race equity through disaggregated data analysis and inclusive programming.[3][6]
All Raise began as a grassroots movement and call to action, evolving into a nonprofit serving the venture capital ecosystem to drive parity in tech.[1] Founded around 2017 (based on program data starting that year), it emerged amid low representation of women in VC and founding roles—initially focusing on women's participation but expanding to nonbinary leaders.[2][4] Key evolution includes launching founder bootcamps, VC cohorts, and in 2020 raising $11M to expand diversification efforts, alongside masterclasses for fundraising and scaling.[2][4] Pivotal moments include building a 3,000+ member community and shifting to virtual cohorts to include underrepresented investors nationwide, boosting Latinx and Black women participation to 17% in partner cohorts versus the industry's 1% average.[3][5]
All Raise rides the trend toward diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in venture capital, where diverse teams drive innovation and better outcomes, amid market forces like stagnant female representation (e.g., 9-11% baselines).[3] Its timing aligns with post-2020 pushes for systemic change, including $11M fundraising and virtual expansion during remote shifts, influencing the ecosystem by accelerating women/nonbinary careers—e.g., through cohorts that exceed industry diversity benchmarks and programs boosting funding access.[2][5] By nurturing "unicorn whisperers" and dealmakers, it shifts capital flows, pressures firms for parity, and builds a vibrant, inclusive VC pipeline that counters homogeneity in tech investing.[3][5]
All Raise is poised to hit its 2028-2030 targets through scaled programs and its growing community, potentially redefining VC norms as DEI gains traction amid economic pressures favoring high-performing diverse teams.[3] Trends like remote networking and data transparency will amplify its reach, evolving its influence from grassroots advocacy to a standard-bearer for equitable tech funding—ultimately making the ecosystem more innovative as parity unlocks untapped talent.[1][3] This builds on its core power-shifting mission, fostering a future where women and nonbinary leaders routinely build and fund breakthroughs.[3]
