When We Gather,
We build the Future
Gather Ventures is a subsidiary of the Clara Lionel Foundation and is based in Nairobi, Kenya. Founded in 2021, Gather was born when Robyn Rihanna Fenty and Jack Dorsey committed to addressing gender and climate across Africa. Over the years we have built a fund that embodies their entrepreneurial background and embraces long term committed partnerships.
The Clara Lionel Foundation (CLF) was founded in 2012 by Robyn Rihanna Fenty in honor of her grandparents, Clara and Lionel Braithwaite. CLF builds thriving and resilient communities by equipping community innovators to lead change from within. CLF's vision is to create transformative change and build thriving communities, starting with and investing with the people who call these communities home.
