Building a Support Network for Minority Entrepreneurs
Session Category:
Minority and under-served populations are incredibly entrepreneurial, yet they are often less likely than their white counterparts to seek support from traditional startup ecosystem resources. In this breakout session, attendees will hear from three dynamic leaders who have successfully collaborated with others to build vibrant, sustainable communities that support and elevate the entrepreneurial efforts of minority and under-served groups. The session will be facilitated by keynote speaker, Lyndsae’ Peele.
