Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.
A More Inclusive Approach to Venture Capital is a day-long convening hosted by the Aspen Institute Center for Urban Innovation focusing on how venture capital can better serve women and people of color. The forum will bring together experts, practitioners, funders and ecosystem leaders to explore new ways to measure funds’ success and strategies for disrupting venture capital to design something that is more inclusive and accessible to a wide range of founders. This convening will help us learn from leaders from different sectors and across geographies and strengthen connections between southeast Michigan actors. This convening is generously supported by the New Economy Initiative.A More Inclusive Approach to Venture Capital is a day-long convening hosted by the Aspen Institute Center for Urban Innovation focusing on how venture capital can better serve women and people of color.
