We welcome all kinds of entrepreneurs, but we’re encouraging startups with diverse teams and backgrounds to apply. Why?
Uneven funding landscape
Because talent is evenly distributed, but opportunity is not. Equalization of the fundraising landscape will provide more talent with the chance to build companies and create more investment opportunities for investors.
Traditionally, female, black, and latinx founders have seen far less venture capital than their white male counterparts. Furthermore, the majority of funded startups come from Silicon Valley and New York with little representation from other cities across the US.
We believe that more unicorns can be found where the masses aren’t looking.
