https://techcrunch.com/2020/06/10/extra-crunch-live-join-blck-vcs-sydney-sykes-for-a-discussion-on-fostering-diversity-in-venture/ > Tech has dropped the ball. For an industry that holds so much power, and prides itself on being ahead of the curve, the diversity of venture capital and among tech entrepreneurs leaves so much to be desired. More than 80 percent of VC firms don’t have a single black founder. It’s no surprise, then, that the vast, vast majority of venture funding comes from white men to white men. > This is why we’re excited to sit down for a chat with Sydney Sykes, co-founder of BLCK VC, a community by and for Black VCs. You can join this Zoom webinar and ask your own questions, or tune in for the live broadcast on YouTube. The episode airs at 1pm ET/10am PT on Thursday, June 11th.
