Black female founder speed dating

Yesterday, Sarah Wernér and I co-ran a speed dating event for angels and black female founders.

Why?

Black female founders get the tiniest share of venture capital funding. For me, this was a small way to help. It's not the same as investing cash and I've so far failed on that front.

We are now asking everyone who attended for feedback and will figure out our next steps. We may run one again.

If you'd like to attend in future, as a founder or an angel, keep an eye on my or Sarah's LinkedIn and/or put your name in the comments. We'd also love to know what else might help.

Thank you again to everyone who attended.
