For the venture capital industry to be the best version of itself, we must enhance diversity and inclusivity. In this first episode of Venture Capitol, we hear from the industry leaders who are working to make venture capital accessible to all. 

Host Bobby Franklin talks with Maryam Haque, Executive Director of Venture Forward, on how they are driving human capital, values, and industry education to create a more inclusive space in the venture capital world. Then, we hear the story of Meagan Loyst, founder of Gen Z VC, on how she built a global community empowering the next generation of leaders in venture capital and how they’re changing the narrative of what traditional investors and investments look like. We also share exciting new data that reveals how VCs are impacting economies in all 50 states and why policymakers should be aware of this.
