Why Diverse Tech Founders?
Why Diverse Tech Founders?
Our Thesis:
Because less than 1% of startup capital goes to founders of color, we leverage the one thing older than capital: people (like you and me) to grow diverse tech founders.
We study diverse tech founders and introduce them to aspiring angels investors who can sometimes provide introductions to help startups grow, directly.
Personally, we have already invested in PopCom, Fleeting, Freeman Capital, JustMyCities, Inc., Melanoid Exchange, Sienna Sauce and Melanance.
