Recognizing this untapped potential, many organizations are developing concrete programs to recruit more diversity in venture capital. In an interview with Marketplace, venture capital partner Ilya Fushman shares that at his firm, Kleiner Perkins, they have been able to increase the presence of historically underrepresented groups through fellowship programs that connect existing partners to younger talent. Currently, 50% of program participants are women, and they are hopeful that their percent of Black and Hispanic participants (currently 7% and 4%, respectively) will increase similarly.
