Investor Survey (2mins)

Hello and welcome! 👋
We are on a mission to advance DEI across venture capital. But we also want to put a stop to the constant surveys. That's why we're launching the Equity Record, the survey to end more surveys.
Diversity VC is building a first-of-its-kind dataset and data coalition so that once you complete this, we promise there will be no more surveys asking for your basic demographic data. We're doing this so we can stop asking who you are and actually focus on developing initiatives to create a more diverse VC and technology ecosystem.
The survey takes less than 5 minutes to complete, all questions are optional. Your input will help us push data-driven change in the VC industry.
Thanks a lot for taking part. It means a lot to have your support.
🔐 Our confidentiality promise. All data is collected and stored securely and compliant with the latest GDPR legislation. Any data analysis will be completed in aggregate, protecting your identity and experiences. You can view our privacy policy here, if you have any questions please email david@diversity.vc
