“HCP believes that the limited funding for underrepresented founders —
less than 3% of all VC dollars — is due to the lack of diverse
investors. We are changing the face of entrepreneurship by investing
primarily in disruptive startups founded by women and diverse
entrepreneurs,” said Henri Pierre-Jacques, Managing Partner at
“HCP is excited to provide opportunities to diverse candidates trying to
break into venture capital and later stage investing. We continue to be
impressed by our applicant pool and are certain that investment firms
will benefit from this talent,” said
As part of its diversity and inclusion efforts, KKR has focused on recruiting a broader pool of diverse talent and has put together a number of initiatives to increase awareness of and access to the firm, including an MBA Summer Internship Program and a full-time analyst program.
“Having a more diverse workplace is a business imperative. In order to
accomplish this, we know we have to adjust how and from where we are
sourcing talent,” said
