what

Efforts to create supportive, inclusive environments for underrepresented entrepreneurs are under attack nationwide.

​Thanks to the forward-thinking leadership of the Fearless Fund, programs like DivInc and others still have legal leeway to directly fund minority groups. But the fight is far from over.

​DivInc is excited to be back at AfroTech with Black Girl Ventures for a revisit of last year’s panel: And Still We Rise. Join us for a timely discussion with their partners on how they will continue to fight for their right to correct the wrongs of history.
