Who We Are

Our Commitment to Belonging

We stand for fairness, dignity, and opportunity for everyone, celebrating diversity as our collective strength. Our societies thrive when everyone's voices are valued, their perspectives are welcomed, and every person is treated with respect.

Our Culture

We are committed to being a diverse, equitable, inclusive, and welcoming venture. We embed these principles into our workplace culture, strategy, operational decision-making, and partnerships so that everyone who engages with us feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.

This means every team member at Omidyar Network is responsible for modeling the mindsets, principles, behaviors, and actions necessary to embed these values internally and externally.

Our Strategy

Man flying a drone on a sandy beach, looking up at it with commitment as he holds the remote control in his hands.The digital revolution is more than a shift in the technologies available. The revolution is the fusion of cultural, political, economic, and technological influences and impacts. It’s fundamentally changing who holds power, who prospers, and what possibilities we prioritize as a society.

Omidyar Network cares deeply about elevating humanity’s voice and interests in the digital revolution so that it results in shared power, prosperity, and possibility. Too often, critical voices have been left out of the conversation and opportunities.

We support the individuals and organizations working to make the world of tech more diverse, equitable, and inclusive because we strongly believe that if the people who make technology products, investments, and governance decisions change, the rest of the system will shift positively and become more dynamic with an injection of new perspectives.

For example, we invest in:Man in orange turban sitting outdoors, smiling with hand over mouth, holding a phone in one hand, radiating a sense of belonging.

  • Supporting builders, leaders, and funders that bring new talents and perspectives to the sector and produce better alternatives to the status quo.
  • Seeding new narratives about technology that position people, not technology, as the lead protagonists in our digital future.
  • Building movements, institutions, and governance models that broaden who has the power to steer the culture, governance, and business of tech.
  • Championing more stakeholders to be equitably built into accountability structures, decision-making bodies, and corporate governance.
