SVC member Tracy Gray (Founder and Managing Partner, The 22nd Fund ([link removed]) ) serves as Co-Chair and we're excited to share that SVC will be hosting a featured breakout session as part of the robust program featuring three SVC Innovation Entrepreneurs:

Building the NEXT Economy: Moving from Intention to Action by Deploying Capital to Entrepreneurs of Color
As Belonging Pledge signatories and Confluence Philanthropy partners work to deepen their commitments to investing with a racial equity lens, Social Venture Circle believes hearing directly from entrepreneurs of color building businesses about what they need from impact and values-aligned investors is a critical component for success. What are the needs, especially of early stage companies and founders? What are the unique challenges they face? How can funders/investors proactively address and respond to the power dynamics that exist when engaging with entrepreneurs of color, especially when the power and capital imbalance is rooted is generations of systemic racism and white supremacy. Join SVC members and Innovation Entrepreneurs, Orion Brown (Founder & CEO, BlackTravelBox ([link removed]) ) and Marco Bollinger (Co-Founder & Chief Storyteller, Lokal ([link removed]) ) in a conversation moderated by Lauren Grattan (Co-Founder & Chief Community Officer, Mission
Driven Finance ([link removed]) ).

Thank you,

Isaac Graves
Interim Executive Director
