Welcome to Equity Raise: Leveling the Landscape for Diverse Founders and their VCs. Each year, less than 3% of venture capital funding is invested in startups led by founders of color and women.
On this podcast from the American Underground, we’ll learn from some of these entrepreneurs who have successfully raised venture capital, despite the struggles and systemic barriers they’ve faced.
Equity Raise is hosted by Naya F. Powell, presented by American Underground, sponsored by The Diversity Movement, and produced by Earfluence.
