Kleiner Perkins has a long history of championing diversity. We prioritize hiring diverse teams within our firm and at our portfolio companies, and are proud to invest in companies led by women and people of color. The Kleiner Perkins Fellows — a mentorship and talent development program for students and future founders — has had an inclusion goal since inception and in 2018 had nearly 50% women, 9% black and 8% hispanic representation. We know that having diverse teams at the table is not only the right thing to do but makes for better business decisions.
Kleiner Perkins is committed to fostering a vibrant and diverse ecosystem that serves our founders and their teams from inception to IPO.
We value and believe that our industry can only achieve its full potential when it embraces the full spectrum of diversity, which includes, but is not limited to: race, religion, age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, nationality, ideology, and abilities.
Our firm does not tolerate any form of discrimination, harassment, retaliation or bullying. As representatives of Kleiner Perkins, we expect all employees of our firm to uphold this in the workplace and outside of it. Our firm supports the #DecencyPledge.
