What does Beyond The Billion do?

Beyond The Billion® (BTB) is a global initiative organized by TBDF Ventures LLC, aimed at addressing the gender investment gap in venture capital. Launched in October 2018, BTB connects limited partners (LPs) with general partners (GPs) who invest in high-growth companies founded by diverse women. The organization has mobilized over 80 venture funds to pledge over $1 billion in investments for women-founded companies, making it the world's largest consortium focused on this mission. BTB's core mission is to drive capital to funds that invest in women-founded and diverse-owned companies, ensuring portfolio diversity across various sectors. The organization emphasizes data-driven awareness and ongoing capital deployment, promoting commitments from firms like Bank of America. BTB also engages in research and reporting, providing insights into the successes and challenges faced by its partner funds, and creates learning opportunities to support the global ecosystem for diverse women founders.
