ECONOMIC INEQUALITY IS A MORAL ISSUE AND A BUSINESS ISSUE
Black ($24,100) and Latinx ($36,100) families median net worth is a fraction of White families ($188,200).

INTENTIONS ARE NOT MATCHING ACTIONS
60% of VCs want to invest in more entrepreneurs of color but only 2.6% of startup executives are Latinx, and only 2.1% are Black. To match working-age U.S. demographics, startups need 6.7x more Latinx and 5.6x more Black executives.
