Equalizing Equity

Watch the program here! Join us live at 7 p.m.

Is it possible to create wealth AND foster social justice? Can investing in startups that close opportunity gaps for communities of color and low-income groups also be good business? Is it possible for venture capital to truly focus on a double bottom line? 

Renowned venture capitalists and social activists Freada Kapor Klein and Mitchell Kapor are exploring these questions for companies and funds valued at millions and billions of dollars. Along with Liz Carey and Troy Cosey, they'll provide perspectives as entrepreneurs, investors, and social impact leaders. 

Join us for an evening of thought-provoking ideas and actionable strategies, including a roadmap for creating wealth and addressing inequalities with companies that defy the assumptions of Silicon Valley venture capitalists and Wall Street financiers. 

What to Expect 

• Insights and stories from the Kapors' book, Closing the Equity Gap: Creating Wealth and Fostering Justice in Startup Investing. 
• A hard look at the challenges faced by entrepreneurs from underrepresented communities and how they have overcome them. 
• Personal insights and stories behind remarkable companies that have achieved social and economic justice and significant growth.
