In our latest report, we share Fairview’s data on the size, evolution, and current characteristics of the universe of woman and minority-owned private equity and venture capital firms (firms majority owned by women and/or ethnic minorities in the US).

This year marks a significant milestone as the number of woman and minority-owned firms in the United States surpassed 1,000 firms for the first time, reflecting a nearly tenfold increase since Fairview began publishing this data in 2014. The pace of this growth has evolved consistently, amidst significant structural shifts in the private markets, from changing institutional priorities to broader economic and political forces reshaping the investment landscape.
