A financial argument for diversity in venture capital: 💸If the VC partners are all from the same school: 11% lower performance 💸If the partners all have the same ethnicity: around 30% lower performance 💸If they are all men: around 20% lower performance hbs.edu/ris/Publication%20Fi…

chadwick boseman and kobe bryant. two men with hearts made of gold. they inspired many people and put smiles on many faces. the world has lost two precious souls but heaven has gained two angels. heroes come and go but legends are forever. rest in peace and power.

Police in Kenosha shot Jacob Blake seven times in the back. His children were watching. I'm holding them all in my heart today and hoping for a full recovery. Police brutality is a daily threat to Black lives. We must demand accountability.

Thank you for being angry, Scott. This is what I’m looking for from friends and allies. Straight up anger, like we feel. 💜

The stats: (via @TCfounders & @PitchBook) - 2.8% VC funding went to womxn founders in 2019 - Less than 1% of VC funded startup founders are Black - Even less... 0.4% are Latinx - More than 40% of VC funding comes from the Bay Area So what can we do?

If you’re a white investor sending me a specific deal because the founder is a POC, but you haven’t committed to investing in that company yourself, have at least 3 single-spaced typed pages ready with an explanation as to why not. You know, there’s another oar over there, right?

Black founders: How do you feel when BIG companies announce a black startup programme knowing they are doing the absolute bare minimum to tick a box. Grateful as it’s a start or disgusted by their timely performative marketing? #BlackLivesMatter #BlackPoundDay #blackstartups

Short thread on not getting the job. Ever had a confusing rejection? You were polite and early. You know you smashed the answers to every question. You even had some banter going, so you don’t understand why they didnt offer you the job... Sometimes it isn’t about you.

"As a firm that values diversity immensely, we realize that venture capital is not a meritocracy, and the best ideas of Black founders, founders of color and women, are often inhibited, not encouraged or empowered." An update from our firm @EniacVC 👇🏾 medium.com/@eniacvc/black-li…

Black Lives Still Matter.
