OVERCOMING SYSTEMIC BARRIERS TO ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Over the past five years, less than 3% of venture capital funding went to Black and Latinx founders. What are the barriers to entrepreneurship for minorities and how can venture capital become more inclusive to entrepreneurs? What steps should be taken by operators and financiers to ensure that sufficient funding is accessible to businesses in these communities? Join moderator Rashmi Menon, entrepreneurship lecturer at Michigan Ross, for a panel discussion with entrepreneurs and venture capitalists about how they are working to expand equity in this space.
