illumyn Impact delivers diversity to the board ecosystem
We’re at an inflection point for drastic transformation for our planet and society-changing technology. At illumyn Impact, we are building the biggest lever for social and economic change: diverse private company boardrooms.
Our Impact
Our work is made possible through generous support from philanthropic organizations, family offices, and individuals. These include 100+ leading venture capital and private equity firms which partner with us to extend their networks. Every year, we publish an impact report to share our progress with the community.
We meet firms where they are.
“Identifying and placing great people is a key pillar of our value-add strategy at Composition Capital and illumyn Impact has been a true partner in finding high-caliber, diverse Board candidates across our portfolio.”
“We have strengthened our commitment to recruiting women for board seats because of illumyn Impact. We are making great progress!”
We diversify for-profit boards for a better social and economic future.
The causes you care about are impacted by private company boards.
Today, un-elected, private company boards make decisions that change the lives of millions of people in an instant. Those board-level decisions determine corporate priorities, such as philanthropy, environmental impact, and workforce diversity, all of which ripple out to the broader community. Private company boards shape industries, from healthcare to clean energy, directly influencing the other causes you support.
The private company independent board seat is the fastest way to solve diversity in business.
In the US, there are nearly 4x the number of private companies as public ones making over $100M a year. Private company boards control vast resources and influence policies that affect social justice, environmental sustainability, and economic equity.
17% of private company boards have not filled any independent board seats, and 24% have filled only one independent seat. When private boards commit to social responsibility, they create powerful, scalable impact that aligns with philanthropic goals across multiple sectors.
