Pivotal Ventures is an independent executive office of Melinda Gates that will give her an opportunity to pursue ideas, projects and potentially investments that might not fit within the structure of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. According to GeekWire, Pivotal Ventures works in close partnership with the foundation (although it's run independently, without any Gates Foundation resources). The group is still in the early stages of establishing the operation and determining its ultimate path. However, based on Gates' interests, women's issues will be a priority.
