Our take
Newton is an investor training program provider with a mission to make the venture ecosystem more diverse, inclusive, and accessible to the population it serves. Its students - 'Newton Scholars and Fellows' - take part in digital and in-person programmes aimed at giving them a foothold or accelerate their career in the venture capital sector.
A joint venture by London Business School and LocalGlobe, Newton particularly targets previously "underestimated" groups who want to learn more about the technicalities of how venture capital works, including potential investors, company founders and operators. According to Atomico’s respected State of European Tech report, just 0.9% of founders in Europe are Black. Furthermore, according to Diversity.VC, in 2019, just 30% of those working in venture capital were women. Newton wants to help redress this imbalance - that's why its courses aim to ensure a 50/50 gender split, with at least 50% of students coming from Black, Asian or other overlooked backgrounds. In doing so, Newton is strongly aligning itself with the growing social climate favouring greater equity in influential sectors.
Newton has now run eight Fundamentals courses and four Fellowship cohorts and launched a "Foundations" course in 2024 training over 2500 learners. After four years, Newton has established demand and built a strong reputation following on from the success of its learners. Its focus now is on expanding its brand and reach globally.
