State of Black Entrepreneurship and Fundraising in 2021: Have we made progress?

Black Entrepreneurship & Fundraising in 2021- have we made any progress?

In this special episode, we bring you the fireside chat moderated by Dan with:

 Amira Rasool, CEO of The Folklore

Daricus Releford, CEO of StoreCash

Kwame Boler, CEO of neu

In the session we talked about the state of black entrepreneurship and fundraising in 2021.

As we experience Juneteenth for the first time as a National holiday, we ask:

What has changed? What has remained the same?

Where are the opportunities for improvement?

The panel kept it real, as the conversation covered everything from exasperation to optimism, and everything in between.

This event took place on June 24, 2021 and was hosted by the Techstars Seattle Accelerator and Managing Director Isaac Kato
