Who is the Portfolio Aligment Framework created for?

This framework was created for all venture investors, whether dedicated venture firms or venture funds within larger asset management firms. The framework is industry-agnostic and is meant to serve traditional venture investors and climate-focused or impact venture investors. Because possession of a board seat is required for a portfolio company to be considered 'in boundary,' the Portfolio Alignment Framework is better suited for venture investors who regularly take board seats.

The VCA is developing a dual Portfolio Engagement Framework for non-board investors, and a Climate Solutions Framework for climate investors who are interested in measuring and reporting scope 4 (climate impact). You can access the full Portfolio Alignment Framework on our website.
