We are a group of business, finance and research specialists working to democratise and diversity access to venture capital. We seek to create a broad based ecosystem of support for Black and ethnic minority businesses looking for funding. We believe talent is equally distributed, but access to funding is not. Our goal is to provide measurable evidence of the missed investment opportunities that exclusion of diverse UK founders generates. We seek to promote this under-tapped and under-financed economic resource.
