Changing the Script for Black Founders with Jewel Burks Solomon
On this episode of More Than Profit, Bryce talks with Jewel Burks Solomon. Jewel is Head of Google for Startups US and Managing Partner at Collab Capital. Jewel is passionate about entrepreneurship and ensuring that everyone (specifically female and black founders) have every chance possible at success.
She and Bryce talk about what motivates her – from her family, her faith, and being surrounded by entrepreneurial role models. Her firm, Collab Capital, is focused on disrupting the wealth gap in the United States by investing in black-owned businesses and she shares the unique approach to investments that they are taking at Collab Capital as well as the historical discrimination and the wealth gap that makes it difficult for black founders to access the capital they need to build their companies.
