Thank you @MoniqueWoodard for representing our voices with the SEC.
Early call time, but worth it to talk to the SEC’s Small Business Capital Formation Advisory Committee about access and pathways to capital. And got to hear from folks like @rodneysampson @lesamitchell @densilporteous and nee committee member Kesha Cash.
The funding rt for Black founders is 10X below demographic equity. This should make you angry. Isn't pipeline problem - Latina/ Black-women led startups have grown at highest rt. medium.com/@Amitch5903/10… @BGirlVentures @Code2040 @BlackGirlsCode @blackfounders #equity #startup
Thanks! We want all GPs to make this pledge! @Yale has ~$30B! They could never receive another donation and that institution will live on in some form until the end of time. I really want people to consider making them to HBCUs.
We are working with top tier service providers to create standard docs to remove the friction and make the pledge easy for both GPs + founders (in this sense founder stock). Who wants to join us? #HBCUonepercentpledge
I could not be happier for @PlexoCapital GP @Base10Partners team for their work to deliver superior returns and their leadership on diversity. When I started our firm in 2018, I committed to Dr Harvey that I would donate a portion of my carry to @_HamptonU #hamptonproud
