Equity Angels
[Note from editor: The “Mastermind Showcase” highlights companies and news from members of GEM Diamond. Today’s showcase: Equity Angels]
Co-founded by Katherine Winston and Kenya Burrell-VanWormer, Equity Angels is a new accelerator “that will provide professional mentorship, fractional executives and fundraising preparation for companies started by entrepreneurs from diverse demographics,” according to Inman News.
Its first program members “will participate in a six-month ‘fundraise-ready program’ beginning in April 2024.” For this program they will pick 10 founders who focus on proptech and fintech solutions but by the end of 2024, they would like to help at least 20 founders.
After completing the program, they will get to meet with VCs, private family offices, foundations, endowments, and more to pitch their company and potentially get access to capital and investors they wouldn’t typically. Equity Angels will also be creating their own educational media (producing podcasts, webinars, blogs, newsletters) to help startups succeed.
Focused on up leveling diverse innovators across the board, there’s nothing not to like about this initiative.
