Thank you @ChicagoInno for bringing more light to this conversation around diversity in VC, our support of @FearlessFund amid the lawsuit, and our continued work to invest in diverse founders at @CapitalizeVC 🙌🏾

A lawsuit filed against a Georgia-based VC fund that aims to invest in startups led by women of color alleges that it violates federal civil rights law. But Fearless Fund is hardly the only one looking to bridge the racial gap in the VC world. bizjournals.com/chicago/inno/s…

Thanks to @ChicagoInno for reporting on this hugely consequential issue impacting #VC and shoutout to @TessaFlippin of @CapitalizeVC, who says it best: "If diverse founders didn't only receive 1% of VC dollars that are deployed annually, there wouldn't be the need for our funds.”

Proudly and loudly taking a stand to oppose the “discrimination” lawsuit being brought against @FearlessFund where laws meant to protect us and being weaponized against us. We (70+ VC funds) support you in this fight ✊🏾 forbes.com/sites/shimiteo…
