EQUITY RAISE
Leveling the landscape for
diverse founders and their VCS
A NEW PODCAST
VENTURE CAPITAL IS NOT A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD
Each year, only a small fraction of venture capital funding is invested in startups led by founders of color and women. On this podcast, we’ll learn from these entrepreneurs who have successfully raised venture capital despite the odds — plus the VCs who have invested in them — to understand how we can all work to improve startup funding equity.
Equity Raise is hosted by Naya Fela Powell, an entrepreneur and DEI professional with deep roots in the startup ecosystem. Naya is the founder of Utopia Spa & Global Wellness, an alumna of the American Underground’s Black Founders Exchange, and a recipient of the Google for Startups Black Founders Fund award.
Equity Raise is produced by Earfluence Media.
