About

The future of tech will include more of us than ever before. Though overall representation of Black professionals, founders, and operators in tech is stagnant, our footprint on the evolution of the industry grows year after year. 

 

We’re excited to host a conversation between two VC powerhouses, Monique Woodard and Ade Ajao. Together they have over 30 years of experience launching, selling, and investing in successful startups. Recently they’ve been featured in Business Insider, TechCrunch, and Bloomberg speaking out about overcoming systematic bias in VC. 

 

The conversation will cover all corners of Venture given the wealth of funding and operating experience of our panelists. Send us any questions you'd like us to ask during the discussion.
