Great article! So glad to see more publications highlighting these staggering injustices and the significant hurdles that non-white male founders face in the startup ecosystem. Personally, I’ve been told (twice, by two different investors) that I “shouldn’t have trouble raising money because I’m female” because there are “female focused funds.” These figures dismiss those sentiments outright and I will definitely be circulating this article to my network. What Kameale said about doing a disservice to humanity by not allowing “a group of people who have been surviving off of a lack of resources” who by definition are “intrinsically more sustainable” is right on. By changing how and to whom funding is allocated, and how workforce is developed and promoted, we’re going to see many more high impact solutions. What really fuels me though, is seeing the important work groups like LACI, JFFLabs, Include Ventures, and of course OHUB(!), is doing, and knowing that by continuing to build and create solutions in the clean tech and social justice space - even when it's difficult, and especially when it's difficult - we will create more “Ancestral Returns.” And, when we as founders succeed we help create the example of non “traditional” founders in the climate tech founder and investor roles to help elevate future founders. Excited to be part of this group and grateful for all the people and work that made it a reality.
