33. Impact Investing, Hip Hop and the Black Opportunity, with Tino Chebebe
Manage episode 359378233 series 3359431
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
