Our target entrepreneurs come from communities that represent 70% of our nation's population, yet they receive less than 6% of early-stage investment capital.

We're here to change that

The Problems Our Fund Addresses
Early Stage Funding Inequity
We’re building a supportive community for under-resourced entrepreneurs, focused on Female, BIPOC and AANHPI entrepreneurs who today receive less than 6% of the early-stage investment capital in America.
Environmental Degradation
Does capitalism have to be bad for the environment? We say no! The people, values, and incentives that influence the behavior of Corporate America need to be aligned to include environmental preservation and to safeguard our planet.
Traditional VC Investment Issues
Too many start-ups today are forced to accept dilutive capital, often on exploitive terms, and many potentially successful companies simply can’t meet the hyper-growth requirements of traditional venture capital funds.
