​The Region's Largest Gathering of Underrepresented Founders

​Join us virtually at our livestream

​The Summit is always an uncommon opportunity to meet inspiring entrepreneurs and investors in our local community, whether Female, Black, Latino, Veteran, LGBT, Asian, Indigenous, etc., who all together still represent a minority of venture capital investments in the USA. Help us, help them, to change the status quo by participating in this event.

​Doors open at 5pm. Summits formally begin at 5:30pm. Diverse-founder startup pitch presentations usually begin around 8pm, and each startup team has their own demo tables in the mixer area. Guests are welcome to stay for the afterparty mixer, meet the founders personally, and meet all the other guests. Light snacks and beverages are served. Parking is always free and easy.
