Why is it that minority and female entrepreneurs are not securing venture capital at the same rate as the rest of the population?
This situation occurs for many reasons, although sometimes the data is inconclusive. Some ideas could be these entrepreneurs lack the support for approaching and acquiring venture capital, and lack the knowledge around how to start and grow a high growth company that will employ hundreds or thousands of people. One reason may be that these start-ups typically are started with less capital in the bank, and grow more slowly as a result.
