About us
Beyond The Billion is the world's first and largest consortium of venture funds pledged to invest and actively deploying over $1bn into women-founded companies. Beyond the Billion’s (BTB) first pledge campaign was launched as The Billion Dollar Fund for Women in October 2018 with an audacious goal of catalyzing $1 billion into the hands of women founders globally, addressing the gender venture investment gap where women were receiving only 2.2% of all venture capital funding. In under 2 years, $638 million of the first billion pledged was deployed into close to 800 women-founded companies, of which to date, 15 have been recognized as unicorns. To continue to build on this momentum, the founders, Shelly Porges and Sarah Chen-Spellings launched Beyond The Billion, to catalyze capital deployed to and with these venture funds, ensuring their continued capacity to invest by bridging LPs and GPs, building a community of institutional investors, sovereign funds, IFIs, DFIs, family offices, wealth managers and high net worth individuals; driving the agenda collectively.

Gearing up for a productive fall season as we head to Asia! Catch Shelly Porges at the LP Summit in Singapore DealStreetAsia in Sept!
As limited partners (LPs) are putting a greater emphasis on distributions, they rely on the track record of fund managers to generate liquidity throughout market cycles. The fundraising environment for emerging managers has therefore continued to deteriorate due to the selection bias by global LPs. Risk-adverse investors understandably tend to favour established general partners (GPs), but at the same time, LPs who can be patient with performance are poised for potential upside by investing in burgeoning fund managers. What does it take for first-time fundraisers to beat the current market downturn? This panel will discuss the value of partnering with emerging managers; the private capital landscape and its impact on GP selection; the history of outperformance by smaller GPs; partnership dynamics in emerging managers and LPs’ due diligence checklist. -Shelly Porges, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Beyond The Billion® (launched as The Billion Dollar Fund for Women®) -Sharon Liang, Principal & Head of Southeast Asia, Siguler Guff & Company -Sean Yoo, Head Asia Pacific, Private Equity, Federated Hermes -Michelle Teo, Senior Journalist & (former) Managing Editor, DealStreetAsia (Moderator)
