It’s not a secret, the world of venture capital is an exclusive club. The common perception of a venture capitalist is an old white guy with billions throwing millions into a startup idea by a younger white guy. However this isn’t a post about the diversity issues in tech, this is a source of inspiration and a resource of VC’s that look like you.
