California Partners Project

California is the global center of AI — but there’s a critical gap in the boardrooms shaping this technology.

A new report by , , and the California Partners Project reveals a stark reality:

🔹 Women hold only 15% of board seats at private AI companies in California.

🔹 Over 40% of these companies have no women on their boards.

Why this matters: The people building AI today are defining how it impacts our economy, workplaces, communities, and daily lives. More perspectives can lead to better, more responsible technology that serves everyone.

This is HUGE. 🤯

Our friends at are thinking bigger. WAY bigger. They just announced the YF500 — a first-of-its-kind, $50 million philanthropic index fund.

It’s a five-year promise to fund, connect, and amplify 500 community-rooted nonprofit leaders across the US who are building a world where teens can thrive online and off.

By 2030, the YF500 aims to:
✅ Support 40 million young people
✅ Equip 20 million families with better tools
✅ Back 500 visionary nonprofit leaders

This isn’t just funding; it’s building a whole new ecosystem of support. The future of youth wellbeing is community-powered.
