Notes to editors
Level 20 is a not-for-profit organisation with a mission to increase the number of women working in senior investment roles in private equity and venture capital to at least 20%.
We do this through international research and advocacy, and Europe-wide networking and mentoring initiatives, with 6,500+ members across 13 chapters. Our work is supported by sponsorship from over 120 GPs and LPs, and also supports firms to understand the barriers women face and how to be a part of the solutions that are driving change.

European Gender Diversity Report 2024: Women in European PE & VC
The second edition of Level 20’s Report on gender diversity in European Private Equity and Venture Capital reveals nearly one in four investors are now women and an overall growth of women in senior roles across the industry.
Level 20’s European Gender Diversity Report 2024: Women working in European Private Equity & Venture Capital, reveals an optimistic picture across geographies, but progress is less linear when compared against seniority, AUM bands and strategies.
In a study of over 11,500 investment professionals in more than 700 firms across 13 countries, Level 20’s latest report on gender diversity has found that 24% of investment professionals are women, up from 20% in 2022. Senior investment roles held by women also increased, from 10% in 2022 to 14% in 2024. The number of local all-male investment teams has decreased significantly from 38% in 2022 to 26% in 2024.
