Is it harder to be a Black entrepreneur? What unique challenges do minority entrepreneurs face when getting their startup off the ground? Please join us for our Diversity in Innovation Panel as a panel of Black founders and CEOs shed light on the racial divide within the startup and entrepreneurial community as well as how they’ve been able to forge their own path as a minority entrepreneur. A Q-and-A session led by Babs Carryer is to follow.
Special thanks to our partners including the Institute for Entrepreneurial Excellence and Pittsburgh’s Black Tech Nation.
This event is being hosted by the Pitt Big Idea Center and the Office of Diversity and Inclusion.
