All Raise VC Cohorts

All Raise is a nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the success of women and non-binary founders, funders, and operators in venture capital and tech. The VC Cohorts program is the organization's flagship peer-group initiative, placing female and non-binary venture capitalists into tight-knit cohort groups organized by professional level: Partners, Principals, Associates, and Emerging Managers.

For one year, members are placed in a cohort of approximately 10-12 peers at their career level. Each group meets on a regular basis with 1-3 facilitated sessions, structured curriculum, and discussion topics, though cohorts are largely self-organized and may adopt a cadence of monthly to bimonthly meetups. All meetings are off-the-record, private, and invite-only, creating a safe space for career guidance, deal sharing, benchmarking best practices, and professional growth.

The VC Cohorts program aims to create a supportive environment for women and non-binary professionals in venture capital, facilitating their growth and success through structured peer groups and mentorship. By focusing on diversity and inclusion, the program addresses the underrepresentation of women and non-binary individuals in the venture capital industry, providing them with the resources and network necessary to thrive.
