Equity Clear at the Australian Investment Council’s Supporting Diversity in Investment Forum

On 11 June 2026, Noga Edelstein delivered the keynote at the Australian Investment Council’s Supporting Diversity in Investment Forum in Sydney.

Run with the Department of Industry, Science and Resources, the forum brought together leaders from venture capital and private markets to explore how diversity can be strengthened across investment teams, portfolios and the broader ecosystem.

The program featured Taryn Pieterse, Partner at Rampersand; Saron Berhane, Foundry Lead at Blackbird Ventures; and Alejandra Romero, Investment Manager at Main Sequence, in a panel moderated by Karen Chan, Portfolio Manager at Perennial Private Investments, followed by a fireside chat with Storm Menzies, Founder of ByStorm Beauty, and Zara Fulton, Head of Investment at Remarkable.

Noga’s keynote shared the work behind Equity Clear and the Common Data Standard ahead of the Show Us the Data report launch, and the role of better evidence in supporting a more inclusive and high-performing investment landscape.
