Level 20 is a not-for-profit organisation founded with the aim of improving gender diversity in the private equity industry
We will achieve our mission by empowering those who work within the industry, encourage new female talent to join, and supporting firms to take practical steps towards effecting change.
OUR MISSION
To inspire women to join and succeed in private equity and to work with industry leaders to make the changes necessary for diversity and inclusion to flourish.
OUR GOAL
For women to hold at least 20% of senior positions in private equity.
Attract, retain and promote – this is what we need to do as an industry to increase gender diversity. Supporting our sponsors in doing this is ultimately how Level 20 will successfully deliver its mission.

Building an international movement
We are a pan-European organisation comprising 13 chapters with over 5,700 members. Each chapter is supported by the Level 20 executive team and a committee of volunteers who activate initiatives in local regions.
A strong foundation
We are delighted to have won financial support from over 120 private equity firms, who are all making efforts to improve the diversity in their organisations.
Leading the way
Each year, we publish authoritative research outlining progress made towards our mission and goal. Our insights are a key point of reference for DE&I leaders throughout private equity and venture capital.
