Venture capital isnāt about making the world a better place.
Itās about power.
Black women arenāt receiving the least amount of funding because VCās donāt believe in their potential.
Empowering Black women disrupts the entire power structure theyāve created for themselves.

I am rooting for SVB. They have done SO much good for the startup community & built genuine relationships w/ their clients, **especially** in Boston.
& to the founders banking with them, keep your head up. Keep building. Startup life is chaotic at times! Sending good vibes. š
