Venture capital isn’t about making the world a better place.
It’s about power.
Black women aren’t receiving the least amount of funding because VC’s don’t believe in their potential.
Empowering Black women disrupts the entire power structure they’ve created for themselves.

I am rooting for SVB. They have done SO much good for the startup community & built genuine relationships w/ their clients, **especially** in Boston.
& to the founders banking with them, keep your head up. Keep building. Startup life is chaotic at times! Sending good vibes. 💛
