Integrate and advance women in the highest realms of leadership – in your firm and across your portfolio companies. And, help your portfolio company CEOs build boards to be a competitive advantage.
“OpenView Venture Partners’ connection to the Athena Alliance and its network of powerful women is part of our strategic advantage. Over 80 percent of the candidates we have suggested to our portfolio CEOs for board seats in the last year have been women because of Athena Alliance.
“We believe helping our portfolio companies build strong, diverse boards provides tremendous value. Our partnership with Athena Alliance provides us with a unique opportunity to leverage Athena’s expertise in identifying highly-qualified women as independent directors for our portfolio company boards, and to amplify the impact of the female executives already in our portfolio.”
“We have committed to take explicit action that helps our portfolio companies move toward gender equality. Partnering with Athena Alliance has expanded our pipeline and network of world-class female talent for independent board director and executive leadership roles and also provided unique learning opportunities for women executives in our portfolio.”
Athena members are the top leaders in their industry. They are VP or above at commercial entities with $100M in revenue or more. At large enterprises, Athena members may be senior director or above. Athena women are also experienced board directors, partners or associates at investment firms, and CEOs building companies for scale.
