Emerging Fund Managers, or those managers who generally have less than $100M under management, are managing fewer than three institutional funds, and focused on early or seed-stage ventures, have become one of the fastest-growing segments in the venture capital industry. Many of these managers come from diverse backgrounds and/or are interested in investing in diverse founders. Our conversation will highlight the opportunities and challenges faced by emerging fund managers as they aim to diversify the venture capital funding landscape.

4. Defining Emerging Fund Managers
● Emerging fund managers are a growing set of managers
● Not set definition of who they are, depends on asset class
● Kauffman Fellows definition: Micro-VCs ($25-$100 AUM) and/or
managers who’s raised < 3 rounds
● Funds of <$100M represented about 5-10% of total capital
committed in any given year.
● Pitchbook: $25.6Bn raised by 870 micro-VC managers from 2012
through 1Q 2020
● More than half of this amount was raised in the last 3 years
5. Diversity and Inclusion?
● Emerging funds hold much promise to address lack of diversity
and inclusion in the VC industry
● Women and racial minorities make up a growing proportion of
emerging managers
● Recent study: 16% of micro-VCs included at least one female
investment partner, over 50% of firms included at least one
minority
● But how are these funds performing?
