Building a future-forward culture.

We live and think far beyond Silicon Valley. With more geographic points of entry than any other corporate venture firm, the Cisco presence is global. And projects like our Aspire Fund put us at the forefront of a diverse, rich, collaborative technology community. It’s the right thing to do.

A Diverse Global Community

Changing the world can begin anywhere, and with anyone. That’s why we’re pursuing positive progress through a more diverse, inclusive, global technology community—one focused on the next generation of innovation.

Beyond VC, beyond M&A, Cisco is where inclusive innovation begins.
