Thanks for penning this report @HarlemCapital
Over 2,300 women founders have raised $1M+ of venture capital funding. Glad to see that in an individual peruse of the sites of many of these organizations, they are responding to COVID-19 in unique ways. forbes.com/sites/brittanycha…

Exactly the research we have been waiting for around #BlackAndBrownFounders! Thank you @HarlemCapital for putting in the work to accurately tell this story. Report reveals around 30% of the founders are #BlackFemaleFounders but only represent 14% of funding. #BlackWomensEqualPay
Research Report Alert (Read and Share): Meet 105 Black and Latino Founders Who Raised $1mm+ in VC Funding ($2.7bn total). We spent months scraping the internet to show the pipeline exist. Check out the full report and tag any founders that we missed.

“Pay them fairly. If you paid the last guys that did a project for you $5,000, then don’t pay that Black woman $1,200. Even if she lowballs herself, have the integrity to pay her the market rate.”
