We hear so many of these stories in the industry, so if you have one and you can share it (anonymously is an option!) then please do. I think it will be eye opening to a lot of people how often such things happen. 🧡
Would you like to help us with an upcoming episode of Fintech Insider? Everyone has read stats about how hard it is for a fintech founder who is Black, Asian, other minority individual, female, both or all of the above, to raise money, be listened to, or even get meetings; we want to tell the stories of the people behind the stats. You hear horror stories of products that only respond to white hands or assistant devices that react only to male voices. We want to use our platform to highlight its impact on financial services. Have you had a negative funding experience as a Black, Asian or other minority individual or female founder? Have you been left wanting from an FS experience that doesn't work for you? If so, hit me on DM or email me at david@11FS.com. You can be involved with or without attribution.
