At the heart of our efforts is a commitment to building and maintaining a diverse and inclusive workplace, one that reflects the varied backgrounds of our clients and the communities we serve.

We are dedicated to advancing racial equity, promoting gender equality, and increasing representation across all levels of our firm.

Our Commitment

Our commitment to creating and sustaining a diverse work environment is absolute. We share our reasons for this commitment and our aspirations:

We strive for excellence. To achieve it, we must have the best people, and the best people are drawn from the broadest pool of applicants. The people we need can be found only by looking across the full spectrum of race, color, religion, creed, sex, age, national origin, citizenship status, disability, qualified veteran status, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation and gender identity.

For the Firm

For our People

We foster a culture of teamwork. For our team to thrive, every member must feel included, supported, and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives. We are committed to creating an environment where differences are not only welcomed but valued where the full richness of each person’s background and experience is recognized and respected by both their team and the firm.

For our Clients

Our clients’ interests always come first. To continue delivering innovative ideas and effective solutions in a complex global economy, we must engage with diverse cultures in an informed, thoughtful way. Experience has shown that we best serve our clients by drawing on the insights, talents, and perspectives of a diverse workforce.

Northgate believes when women lead, everything changes. In today’s world, gender equality is an economic imperative and supporting women’s economic empowerment and leadership opportunities will drive growth for our clients, our communities, our people, and our shareholders.

When Women Lead

Making Progress Toward Racial Equity

At Northgate, we have long been committed to promoting inclusion, diversity, and equity. Yet there is more to be done. That is why we are investing in the power of Black communities, supporting Black businesses, and recognizing the power of an inclusive workforce. As a firm focused on sustainable and inclusive growth, we are channeling the power of capital to drive economic prosperity for more people.

Launch With NG

Launch With NG is our $1 billion investment strategy grounded in our data-driven thesis that diverse teams drive strong returns. Through Launch With NG, Northgate aims to increase access to capital and facilitate connections for women, Black, Latin and other diverse entrepreneurs and investors.

Vendor Diversity

Our Vendor Diversity Program gives us a platform to engage with small and diverse enterprises around the world. We strive to engage vendors that reflect the diversity of the communities where we live and work and of the clients we serve, and we look for vendors that can bring a range of perspectives to help us discover creative, effective solutions.

Board Diversity Initiative

We believe that companies with diverse boards of directors are better positioned for stronger financial performance and improved governance. In 2020, through our Board Diversity Initiative, we announced that we would only take a company public in the US or Western Europe if it had at least one diverse board member. Starting in July 2021, we are increasing this requirement to two diverse board members, one of which must be a woman.
