The BFM Fund and Sutton Capital are proud to co-host an intimate dinner in NYC, for Women of Color fund managers, their limited partners, and potential LPs. This partnership, along with First Republic Bank, will be hosting a series of events across the United States focused on WOC-led funds and LPs who are interested in creating more equitable investor representation. Do you know a GP or an LP that should be included in these events? Please email to get them added to our invite list.

This monthly installment series focuses on bringing together VCs of South Asian descent. Himalaya was invited to attend their dinner in NYC on December 8th. We wanted to give a huge shoutout and thanks to Nandini Agarwal for her commitment to creating more equitable representation in this space. We want to thank Nandini for including The BFM Fund and Himalaya in this space! Are there others who should be included in this event series? Let us know!

October 2022, in collaboration with Frederik Groce and Wellington Access Ventures, we kicked off our first ever PNW BIPOC Leaders Lunch. In November we repeated the lunch with some additional BIPOC leaders in the PNW business community. If you or someone you know should be at these lunches reach out!
