Contrary to popular belief, most new businesses are started by people who are Black, brown, female, and older. The image of the white, male tech founder dominates our mindshare, but the truth is these groups are changing the paradigm and are becoming the next generation of business owners, they are the New Builders.
Long-time venture capitalist Seth Levine is passionate about supporting this new generation, and he will be joining us to talk about ways to rethink the future of business and support New Builders.
In this chat, we’ll talk about:
- The need to rethink entrepreneurship’s definition
- How new business owners are disconnected from the people who control capital/finance system
- How New Builders are poised to succeed as the economy rebuilds with a new focus on community -- if we can support them
