Description

Billions of dollars in economic opportunity are consistently left on the table because traditional venture capital has a narrow definition of who belongs. Capital Entrepreneurs–underrepresented and innovative investors–are expanding that definition, funding businesses that others overlook, welcoming non-traditional LPs into the fold, and expanding who builds and benefits from private markets.

Session attendees will hear directly from Capital Entrepreneurs about what’s working, what’s broken, and where real opportunity lives, and contribute their perspectives to the conversation through fishbowl discussion.

Note: We believe this session fits within both “Shaping Capital Systems” and “A Future That Works for Everyone.”
