Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your founder experience with us.

We’re pleased to be working with the Kapor Center’s Women of Color in Computing Collaborative on research around how women** of color resource their earlier-stage tech startups.

This research seeks to identify the ways in which women of color are successfully funding and resourcing their tech and VC-backed startups in the pre-Series B stages of company growth. To the extent possible, we aim to highlight the strategies that have proven most successful and least successful across the study group, as well as differences between women of color founders and the general population of women founders, and further single out any areas of opportunity that haven’t been fully utilized or realized.


IMPORTANT: Regardless of your demographic background (gender, race/ethnicity, etc), we invite *all founders to respond*, as we will use our data comparatively as well.


All survey responses will remain anonymous unless you give us permission. All findings will be publicly and openly available. Women 2.0 and the Kapor Center do not profit from this research.

** We encourage participation from women, women-identified, and non-binary founders. We also invite male founders to participate in our survey.

June 2020 Update: We've experienced not one, but two exogenous events - COVID-19 (with  the resulting economic downturn and work-from-home) and weeks-long protests around racial (in)justice in the US -that will likely impact the trajectory of this research and the entire startup landscape. This reinforces the important work involved in this research as we continue to gather results.
