Thursday February 25 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm ET via ZoomDuring the Investment & Inclusion series we’ve often focused on points of action. Data alone doesn’t move the individual or the collective so how can we help ourselves and others move from WELL MEANING to WELL DOING (to WELL FUNDING!). What DOES it take to move the collective and the individual to action. We’ll explore how ecosystem players, investors and founders can take many different actions to help move the needle on inequity in the startup and investment sector and how amplifying other’s work, collaborating and partnering will lead to more impact and help more New Majority voices be heard. NOTE: #NewMajority is the term we will be using going forward to rewire the negative connotations of using ‘under’ when using words like, underrepresented, undervalued linked to BIPOC etc. With minority-majority population shifts and as more people of color and women create businesses at a high rate our use of language is important in reflecting population shifts.This open & ‘imperfect’ conversation is calling in all investors, entrepreneurs and community builders who want to support a more diverse and equitable startup ecosystem. We understand diversity reflects more than race and gender and strive to be inclusive of other communities that have been systemically denied access.
