America’s long-standing wealth gap between white and Black households contributes to the lack of diversity among startup founders.
</p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial;text-align: left;color: #333;font-size: 19px;line-height: 27px;margin: 0;margin-bottom: 15px">
Median liquid wealth for a Black family in the U.S. is $3,630, but that figure soars to $79,000 for a white family. As a result, “the average Black founder raises less than around $1,000 from family and friends,” reports Dominic-Madori Davis.
</p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial;text-align: left;color: #333;font-size: 19px;line-height: 27px;margin: 0;margin-bottom: 15px">
Since the average friends and family round is $23,000, “they’d need to secure the entire liquid wealth of six Black families,” according to a white paper by venture fund Fifth Star.
