Designing Our Future
December 15th, 2021
This Mentor Circle is focused on BIPOC Entrepreneurship. It is designed to create a safe, inclusive space to discuss leading empathetic and authentic discovery work with the communities and individuals you seek to serve. In addition, this space will allow teams or solopreneurs to engage with other BIPOC innovators and the networks that support them to deepen our collective understanding of barriers BIPOC innovators face along their startup journey. Together, we will co-design potential solutions and identify opportunities to move our work forward.
