No, I do not think it's acceptable for a new mom in Detroit to be guaranteed ZERO days of paid leave to spend with her newborn, while just over the border in Canada, new moms are guaranteed 119 days.
If Canada can guarantee paid leave to its people, why can't we?
Black female founders have raised more in 2021 than all of 2020, that's fantastic.
However, #vc is still a relationship-driven industry. These founders need more intros and advocates. And firms need to have more well-capitalized fund managers of color.
