The fund is supported by an ecosystem of more than 1,500 HR leaders, including chief human resources officers at companies such as Disney, UPS, Visa, and BNY Mellon. Gates has raised significant capital from limited partners in the United States, Europe, and Asia, deploying funds into more than 70 companies, including nine unicorns, 24 exits, and holding 10 board positions.
