My guest this week is Tino Chibebe, author of The Black Opportunity, Founders’ Associate at Azteq and Investment Committee member at Impact Shakers Microfund. In this episode, he discusses how:
- Impact investing can make a critical difference in tackling social and environmental challenges
- Afropeans are underrepresented in the venture capital and technology space in Belgium
- There is a bias against Black entrepreneurs, in part due to a lack of visibility and role models
- The “daughter effect” in venture capital underscores the importance of educating investors
- Diversity on investor teams and company boards is critical for changing the status quo
