How do we - as Harvard Entrepreneurs - advance diversity?
HarvardAE is using its platform to start the necessary conversation by highlighting the challenges faced by black entrepreneurs, recognizing how bias affects every aspect of their entrepreneurial journey, and focusing on how investors, founders and companies can be catalysts for change.
Advancing Diversity: Black Entrepreneurship is a 4-part series bringing together Harvard alumni for a conversation on the universal themes and unique facets of being black within the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
