Venture capital undermines human rights by RJ Shara | Aug 4, 2021 | Startups | 0 comments Michael Kleinman Contributor Share on Twitter Michael Kleinman is the director of Amnesty International’s Silicon Valley Effort. </div> </p></div> </div> <p id="speakable-summary">The future of innovation is determined by a handful of investor. The world’s 10 prominent equity capital firms have, together, invested over $150 billion in technology start-ups. The investor who run these companies choose which startups today will develop the brand-new platforms and technologies that will shape our lives tomorrow.</p> <p>There is a stunning lack of diversity within the venture capital sector. This suggests that a little group of guys– mostly white males– make choices that impact everybody. Unsurprisingly, they all too often overlook the more comprehensive human and social rights ramifications of these financial investment choices.</p> <p>We all live in a world shaped by equity capital. As of 2019, <a href="https://www.toptal.com/finance/venture-capital-consultants/state-of-venture-capital-industry-2019">81%</a> of all venture capital funds worldwide are clustered in just a handful of countries, mainly in the U.S., Europe and China, which in turn are forming the future of technology. If you hang out on Twitter or facebook, utilize Google, travel in an Uber or stay in an Airbnb, then you’ve experienced firsthand the impact of venture capital funding.</p> <p>Venture capital firms, which offer equity funding for early- and growth-stage startups, play a critical gatekeeper role, deciding which brand-new innovations and innovation business will receive funding.</p> <div class="article-block block--pullout block--left"> <blockquote><p> Equity capital companies require to institute human rights due diligence processes that satisfy the standards stated in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. </p></blockquote></div> </p> <p>All services — — including venture capital — have a duty to regard human rights. In order to make sure that their financial investments are not weakening our human rights, it is therefore important for equity capital companies to conduct due diligence processes prior to making investments.</p> <p>Amnesty International just recently <a href="https://www.amnestyusa.org/reports/risky-business-top-10-leading-venture-capital-firms-failing-in-their-responsibility-to-respect-human-rights/">surveyed</a> the world’s largest equity capital companies and start-up accelerators. Of the world’s 10 largest equity capital firms, not a single one had an adequate human rights due diligence process that fulfilled the requirements stated in the <a href="https://www.ohchr.org/documents/publications/guidingprinciplesbusinesshr_en.pdf">UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights</a>.</p> <div class="piano-inline-promo"></div> <p>Regrettably, this holds true of the wider equity capital sector too. In general, of the 50 VC companies and three start-up accelerators analyzed by Amnesty International, we discovered that nearly all of them did not have sufficient human rights due diligence policies and processes.</p> <div class="embed breakout"> <blockquote class="wp-embedded-content" data-secret="UEjK0CUDF6"> <p><a href="https://techcrunch.com/2021/05/05/despite-gains-gender-diversity-in-vc-funding-struggled-in-2020/">Regardless of gains, gender variety in VC financing struggled in 2020</a></p> </blockquote> </div> <p> This failure to perform appropriate due diligence indicates that a large majority of VC companies are failing in their obligation to regard human rights. This nearly total lack of respect for human rights among the world’s largest equity capital firms has 3 crucial impacts. And many instantly, it means that venture capital companies invest in companies whose items and services have been linked in ongoing human rights abuses, such as business that offer support to the Chinese government’s repression of the Uyghur population in Xinjiang and throughout China.</p> <p>Second, it indicates that venture capital companies continue to money business whose business models have a substantial negative impact on human rights, including our personal privacy and labor rights. For instance, leading venture capital companies continue to support business that rely on app-based or “gig” workers, who frequently face otherwise abusive or exploitative work conditions, in addition to companies whose “<a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/pol30/1404/2019/en/">security industrialism</a>” organization model weakens our right to privacy.</p> <p>Third, the absence of human rights due diligence by venture capital companies drastically increases the threat that they fund brand-new and “frontier” technologies without making sure that adequate human rights safeguards are in place.</p> <p>The application of significantly effective artificial intelligence/machine knowing (AI/ML) tools across a large range of sectors dangers magnifying existing social biases and discrimination. Relatively objective algorithms can be biased by dependence on unrepresentative or incomplete training data, and/or by replicating the unconscious bias of those who developed the algorithms.</p> <p>This is a crucial blind area, especially as VC-funded start-ups look for to interrupt such essential parts of our lives as finance, education and health.</p> <p>The unfavorable effects of the VC firms’ lack of human rights due diligence– specifically regarding issues like algorithmic bias– are amplified by these companies’ own absence of gender and racial diversity. For example, females make up just <a href="https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/audit/articles/diversity-venture-capital-human-capital-survey.html">23%</a> of venture capital financial investment specialists (i.e., those involved in choosing which start-ups to fund).</p> <p> The numbers are even worse when it concerns racial diversity– simply <a href="https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/audit/articles/diversity-venture-capital-human-capital-survey.html">4%</a> of financial investment experts at VC companies in the U.S. are Latinx, and only 4% are Black. Groups like <a href="https://www.blckvc.org/">Blck VC</a>, <a href="https://www.diversity.vc">Variety VC</a> and <a href="https://www.projectdiane.com/">digitalundivided</a> have been calling attention to this concern for several years, however investor have actually been sluggish to respond up until now.</p> <p>This absence of diversity is mirrored in the gender and racial composition of founders who receive VC financing. In 2018, all-female starting teams received simply <a href="https://fortune.com/2019/01/28/funding-female-founders-2018/">2.2%</a> of all U.S.-based venture financing. At the exact same time, Black and Latinx creators got less than <a href="https://fortune.com/2021/04/23/venture-capital-diversity-equity-black-latino-startups-funding/">2.3%</a> of all U.S.-based equity capital financing in 2019.</p> <p>With power comes obligation. Equity capital companies need to set up human rights due diligence procedures that satisfy the standards stated in the UN Guiding Concepts on Organization and Human Rights.</p> <p>Even more, they need to offer assistance to their portfolio business to ensure that they comply with human rights standards. Venture capital firms should also openly dedicate to employing more varied teams, especially in investment-related positions. Lastly, they ought to publicly commit to funding more diverse start-up creators as part of their flagship funds.</p> <p> VC companies have a duty to ensure that their investments are not causing harm. An obligation that they have, to date, mainly overlooked.</p> <div class="embed breakout"> <blockquote class="wp-embedded-content" data-secret="lAsEIZLtHV"> <p><a href="https://techcrunch.com/2020/12/30/on-the-diversity-front-2020-may-prove-a-tipping-point/">On the variety front, 2020 may show a tipping point</a></p> </blockquote> </div> <p><img decoding="async" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techcrunch/startups/~4/p_fA2eMOK-w" height="1" width="1" alt="" /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techcrunch/startups/~4/p_fA2eMOK-w" height="1" width="1" /> Article curated by <a href="https://rjshara.biz">RJ Shara</a> from <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/techcrunch/startups/~3/p_fA2eMOK-w/">Source</a>.
