💰Funding Black VCs and Black founders is an opportunity to grow the economy and help close the racial wealth gap. Leaving the @WhiteHouse feeling inspired after hearing from @MacConwell @MarlonCNichols @Monique_Mosley_ and so many more who came together for this conversation

"70% of VC backed companies raised money from Angels (accredited investors) early on." Who is "accredited" matters. 👉🏾 @imchristiepitts sharing about the SEC meeting on this here:.

👋🏾 Back at @HarvardHBS for my first irl speaking event since COVID. Excited to get out of the house!! Also to let the VCs/LPs know:. I think it is your fiduciary responsibility to have an inclusive investment process and portfolio…if you don’t, you’re missing out

Because founders are underrepresented, they are then underestimated, and then, underfunded💰. Also. Founders who continue to be underfunded, are thus underrepresented, and then underestimated😩 . Tired of this vicious cycle.
