Case Study: Venture for America builds its most diverse fellowship class ever with RippleMatch

How Venture For America hired one of their most diverse fellowship classes ever

Venture for America, a non-profit fellowship program, sought to reach more candidates from underrepresented backgrounds and consolidate its event planning despite having limited resources compared to larger organizations with more established brands. To address this challenge, they partnered with RippleMatch and leveraged its automated sourcing and events platform to build a more diverse talent pipeline.

Using RippleMatch's platform, Venture for America automated their candidate sourcing to market to tens of thousands of qualified and diverse candidates. The solution also provided a centralized system for managing recruitment events and offered analytics to track demographic data. This partnership enabled Venture for America to hire over 120 fellows from 1,200 schools, with 68% of those hires identifying with an underrepresented group, making it their most diverse class ever.
