The San Francisco Examiner spoke with Columbia Business School Professor Emmanuel Yimfor about a new study he co-authored examining the persistent funding gaps faced by Black founders in the startup ecosystem. Discussing findings from Funding Black High-Growth Startups, Yimfor explained that Black entrepreneurs continue to face structural barriers in accessing venture capital, including limited investor networks and bias within traditional funding channels. He emphasized that addressing these inequities is not only a moral imperative but also an economic opportunity, as diverse founders are a significant source of innovation and high-growth potential.
