As you are likely aware, there are a disproportionately low number of women and minorities in leading or supporting roles within venture investment sized start-ups. Historically, companies owned by women and minorities have received less than 5% of total venture capital investments over the past 40 years and minorities have only accounted for 3.7% of entrepreneurs in venture scale start-ups. Springworks is working to change these numbers.
Our planning committee is interested in developing a fundraising strategy that will secure the ongoing financial health of Springworks.
