$100,000 Investment Challenge at Black in Tech Summit in Partnership with DivInc
Capital Factory, in partnership with DivInc, is excited to announce the next $100,000 Investment Challenge at our 2nd Annual Black in Tech Summit. DivInc is a pre-accelerator based in Austin that bridges the gap between underrepresented entrepreneurs and the resources they need to build profitable, high-growth companies. We’ve had the pleasure of working with DivInc in the past on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Challenges in Austin, Houston, and Dallas.
We’re dedicated to increasing diversity in the tech community and making our coworking space an inclusive environment for people of all backgrounds and identities. Year-round Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Summits are just one example of how we’re making Capital Factory more accessible.
On April 14th, during Capital Factory’s Black in Tech Summit, five technology startup finalists will pitch to prestigious judges made up of successful entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and DivInc leadership. One founder/startup will walk away with a $100,000 investment that day!
