In June 2015, Intel Capital announced a groundbreaking commitment in the venture industry. The Diversity and Inclusion Initiative started as a five-year goal to invest $125 million in technology companies led by women and underrepresented populations, which include Black, Latinx, and Native Americans.
In October 2016, the Intel Capital Diversity and Inclusion Investing Initiative was expanded to include startups led by entrepreneurs living with disabilities, U.S.-based entrepreneurs from the LGBTQ community and U.S. military veterans. This expansion also aligns with Intel’s supplier diversity program.
Intel Capital exceeded the initial $125 million investment target more than two years ahead of schedule, in early 2018.
