Despite the groundswell of corporate and cultural support for Black and brown initiatives, underinvestment in founders of color has reverted back to the mean, with a steep drop in venture funding to Black-founded startups in Q2. Yet founders of color continue to make significant headway by being customer first, capital efficient, and delivering needed and valued products and services.
