Social Media as a Means to Access for Founders

Description:

Building a community on top of Clubhouse has offered rare but priceless access for Black, brown, Latinx, AAPI and Women entrepreneurs to engage with investors and founders.

Social Media as a means to Access is a panel on how a group of founders and investors used a new medium, Clubhouse, and our network, to help hundreds of entrepreneurs through our weekly live show shows and programming.

This panel will go over how to use social capital to gain access to people and places you wouldn’t otherwise have access to when fundraising and growing your startup. We will also discuss the importance of community for founders of color and those who would be considered on the outside of tech.
