BLCK VC

We kicked off our #LATechWeek tour doing what we do best: creating an opportunity for underrepresented founders and funders to connect. In partnership with @VamosVentures, @SomosVC, @pluginventures & @HarlemCapital, we created a space that did just that.

A taste of Summertime Chi. ✨ BLCK VC's Midwest Chapter set sail for a night of connection and celebration at its 3rd Annual All White Boat Party. Founders and funders came together to enjoy the last few weeks of the season. Check the highlights:
