Opportunity Details
The Tech for an Equitable Future aims to remove barriers for underrepresented founders by providing their companies 12 months of free access to the Braze platform and supporting services. Previously known as Tech for Black Founders, this initiative was created in 2020 to address the statistic that only 1% of venture capital funds in the US went to Black founders -a figure that has since decreased to less than 0.5%.
In 2023, the program expanded to support more underrepresented founders, including women founders, who garner just 2% of the capital invested in VC-backed startups in the US. Since its founding, the program now provides a total of over 30 Black and women-led startups free or discounted access to the Braze platform and supporting services. With equity as one of the guiding social impact pillars at Braze, they are committed to the continued pursuit of equity and inclusion in the technology industries. Businesses accepted to the program can expect to accelerate their growth, increase their chances at receiving VC funding, and build successful businesses.
