Through our friends from IU Ventures, HBCUvc, Jopwell, Overlooked Ventures, Synchrony, and Softbank, we are ecstatic to share this discussion with you all.
Our goal is to help initiate deep conversations, pertaining to the lived experiences of marginalized individuals within these spaces. We will be kicking off this two-part series with our Investors Panel on Wednesday, February 9th. Here, panelists will be discussing their experiences navigating through the VC ecosystem and ways in which firms can contribute to impactful investments.
