NYC Blend is a fellowship, community & event series focused on addressing issues of diversity & inclusion in the tech ecosystem.

In early 2020, we launched NYC Blend Connect, a program
focused on helping diverse founders navigate and connect to top tier VCs for fundraising, intros, and company-building support.

We are excited to launch our second cohort this Fall.
