Melinda French Gates’ family office, Pivotal Ventures, has made a significant commitment to promoting women’s rights and economic mobility. The organization has pledged $2 billion to support these causes through philanthropy and investing in women-led funds and startups that serve women. Managing director Erin Harkless Moore believes that investment inclusion doesn’t mean lowering the bar, but rather surviving potential backlash against diversity and inclusion efforts. As some asset managers retreat from impact investing, family offices are instead leaning into environmentally or socially conscious causes, with Pivotal Ventures leading the way in this area.
