Tonna Obaze: Changing the Face of Entrepreneurship through Investment
Tonna: Harlem Capital is a diversity-focused venture capital firm. This means we get to give people money to start companies and make their dreams come true. We're on a mission to change the face of entrepreneurship by investing in 1,000 diverse founders over the next 20 years. Unfortunately, diverse founders aren't given an equal share of opportunity—they only receive 3% of VC funding, meaning not everyone has access to money and resources to start companies. That's why we love to provide capital and support to diverse individuals—giving people of color and women of all races a chance to build new companies that change the world.

Luke: Great to be here, Spiffy! Voltpost’s mission is to allow everyone to own electric vehicles by providing electric vehicle charging in every community. Transportation makes up a dominant portion of greenhouse gas emissions. To save the planet, we need to make sure that all vehicles are electric. The biggest reason people don’t is that they don’t know where to charge it. Voltpost turns lamp posts into electric vehicle chargers, empowering people to charge anywhere and tackle climate change in the process.
