KEYNOTE PANEL: Forging a Path Through Inclusive Entrepreneurship
Being an entrepreneur is hard and there is more than one path to success. But what happens when you don't fit the mold of a typical tech entrepreneur or investor? What are some of the barriers to inclusion in entrepreneurship? And how do you find ways to make it work as a founder from an underserved group? Panelists will discuss the challenges that they have faced, as entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds, as they look to raise money, build their businesses and build community. They’ll discuss what has worked, things they would have done differently and the resources that kept them moving. MODERATOR - Jamie Harrell.
