Wouldn't only choosing North American startups (along with having a largely white and male leadership ) be a constraint in itself? Either way, the next part states it will be more international when the companies go public over time.

Now, that's not to say they've specifically gone out and chose startups with a white male leadership but I've seen places try to explain this away by saying they "chose the best person for the job" which sounds awfully familiar to "companies with most promise".
