Report
“Entrepreneurship plays an essential role in solving major social and environmental issues, but the way we support it limits us.”- Dustin Shay Over 90% of VC goes to male-founded teams; less than 75% of US VC is deployed outside of CA, NY, and MA; and less than 3% goes to Black or Latinx founders. Entrepreneurs are problem solvers, but the path to success is only open to a select few people - and most of those people are white, male, and urban. If we want entrepreneurial innovation to make progress on big social and environmental issues, we have to change how supporting entrepreneurship works. As Dustin stated, "If not us, then who? If not now, then when?"  Join us as we sit down with Dustin Shay to discuss how he is creating and scaling equitable pathways to success for entrepreneurs working on the biggest challenges society faces today. Investors, allies, entrepreneurs - listen up for how you can really make a difference!
