WeRootedIn is a nonprofit organization committed to advancing diversity and inclusion within the venture capital and startup ecosystems.

Our mission is to provide aspiring venture capitalists and founders from underrepresented and overlooked backgrounds especially immigrants—including women, minorities, and LGBTQ+ individuals —with the knowledge, mentorship, and practical experience necessary to thrive in the VC and Start-up world.

By fostering a diverse community of future founders and investors, we aim to create a more inclusive, equitable, and innovative entrepreneurial landscape that supports founders, investors and ideas from all walks of life.

RootedIn symbolizes this journey: immigrants staying connected to their origins while planting deep roots in new communities where their vast growth benefits the whole ecosystem.

By empowering immigrant founders and funders, we aim to shape a more inclusive, equitable, and innovative future for all.
