This session delves into three critical aspects of smaller/regional funds. First, is their role in increasing diversity among both capital allocators and entrepreneurs who receive funding. Second, is how pooling capital in diversified vehicles that can invest locally can promote investment by larger VCs/investors. Third, is how regional funds can bridge the divides in communities that lack robust VC ecosystems.

Join us for this virtual session on Wednesday, February 23, 2022, from 12:00 p.m. ET – 1:00 p.m. ET featuring SEC Director of the Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation Martha Legg Miller, UNC-Chapel Hill Heninger Distinguished Professor and CREATE Faculty Director Maryann Feldman, BCom Solutions CEO Brent Comstock and 1909 Executive Director Shana Ostrovitz.
