"Because when everyone has a seat at the table, great things happen." I had the opportunity to work with MassVentures and ven^x on the announcement of the first-ever Founders School. In collaboration with the Commonwealth, the Founders School is designed to support underrepresented entrepreneurs in the deep tech space. I'm incredibly proud to have played a small part in bringing this vision to life, and I can't wait to see where it goes from here! ??
