Flow has closed the Diversity Allocation Fund with over $2 million in investments.
Flow provides a flexible infrastructure that manage venture capital and private equity funds. Fund managers on the Flow platform have raised and manage over $3.5bn in assets.
Goals of Flow’s Diversity Allocation Fund
“Our goal is to empower Latino and Black investors while creating economic parity for all.”
“With more investment comes more opportunities for Latinos and other underserved entrepreneurs,” said Flow co-founders Brendan Marshall and Adrian Ortiz.
“We were hugely inspired by Alejandro Guerrero the Co-Founder of Act One Ventures to change the venture landscape by bringing more diverse investors into deals.”
According to Marshall, Flow is focusing funds on serving underrepresented investors, providing access to high private market opportunities like the Cap Table Coalition.
It provides a minimum of 10% of this funding raise and all future funding rounds to all traditionally marginalized investors specifically Black and Latino investors.
Marshall and Ortiz worked with Pandocap, who introduced L’ATTITUDE and Resolved Ventures, who invested in Flow. They led the diversity investment at $1.5 million.
“Flow is a thesis example of investing in the growth of Latino entrepreneurship in the USA.”
“Adrian Ortiz, along with the clear vision and operating expertise of Brendan Marshall offer confidence that Flow’s platform will continue to disrupt and gain a share across private market fund services,” says Kennie Blanco of L’ATTITUDE VENTURES.
