What are the best strategies for funneling venture capital to underserved founders?
UCLA Bruin Professionals, CNSI Magnify and the Venture Accelerator at UCLA Anderson invited influential women in the tech ecosystem to talk about clearing the barriers to entry for female founders as well as female investors.
Following a screening of Ky Dickens’ documentary Show her the Money, panelists discussed bias in investments, strategies for founders to network with investors and avenues for non-accredited individuals to participate in investing. The conversation emphasized the pivotal role of venture capital education in universities, as well as the power of micro-level actions, normalizing investment dialogues among peers and fostering inclusivity across gender lines to drive meaningful change in the venture ecosystem.
