All Raise, a nonprofit that focuses on increasing diversity within venture capital deals and decision makers, has named Mandela Schumacher-Hodge Dixon as the new chief executive of the company. The appointment comes five months after Pam Kostka resigned as the helm of the nonprofit to rejoin the startup world.

Dixon has spent more than 10 years working to increase representation in the startup world. Prior to All Raise, Dixon was running Founder Gym, an online training center for underrepresented founders that ran 18 cohorts across six continents. A few weeks ago, Dixon announced that Founder Gym’s current cohort will be its last graduating class. The program, which landed a big partnership with Google without ever raising any external capital, is shutting down.

“I'm not going anywhere,” Dixon told TechCrunch in an interview this week. “I'm still doing what I've been doing, which is trying to make a more equitable ecosystem. I was a sixth grade teacher who did not know anyone in Silicon Valley prior to my entry into this world. I am all about and have been all about building bridges.”

Winding down was an unanimous decision among the leadership board, Dixon said, driven by the collective goal to "begin a new chapter in our professional journeys." She was in the process of closing shop when the All Raise opportunity presented itself.

The through-line between both her gigs is obvious: Dixon spent years building a global company that wants to empower more historically overlooked entrepreneurs in their pursuit of building companies, especially in accessing more capital. Now she’s working at a larger organization to do the same, albeit with a more explicit focus on the venture capital industry.

Now boasting over 20,000 community members, All Raise was founded in 2017 by a cadre of women venture capitalists. The original founding team and members is composed of investors Shauntel Garvey, Eurie Kim, Stacey Bishop, Theresia Gouw, Dayna Grayson, Kirsten Green, Nairi Hourdajian, Maha Ibrahim, Rebecca Kaden, Aileen Lee, Jess Lee, Jenny Lefcourt, Ann Miura-Ko, Sarah Nahm, Stephanie Palmeri, Heidi Patel, Megan Quinn, Renata Quintini, Elisa Schreiber, Kristina Shen and Sarah Tavel.
