Black/Brown founders receive only 1% of VC investments but returns for those that did invest in diverse teams see above average returns yet the stigma still lives that to support minority is more a charitable cause that a good financial case. Even if they somehow raise funding, the services that exist are typically offered by providers who, because they typically aren’t of the same national heritage, are unable to relate to the founder’s unique needs.
