We’re in our last week of data collection for our research on WOC founders of early-stage startups. 📊 Help us get 10 more responses from Black women founders (current or former) of VC-backable startups, and take or share our 10-min survey! (🙏 RTs!)
We’re pleased to be working with the Kapor Center’s Women of Color in Computing Collaborative on research around how women** of color fund and resource their earlier-stage tech startups.June 2020 Update: We’ve experienced not one, but two exogenous events – COVID-19 and weeks-long protests around racial justice in the US -that will likely impact the trajectory of this research and the entire startup landscape.
Description: This research seeks to identify the ways in which women of color are successfully funding and resourcing their tech and VC-backed startups in the pre-Series B stages of company growth.
Note: Based on current resources, portions of this research are focused specifically on Black women founders. We’re actively working to expand this to include all women of color . ** We encourage participation from women, women-identified, and non-binary founders. We also invite male founders to participate in our survey.
FOUNDERS: TAKE OUR SURVEY NOW [All survey responses will remain anonymous unless you give us permission. All findings will be publicly and openly available. Women 2.0 and the Kapor Center do not profit from this research.] How you can help: There are three main ways our community can help us.
