GSVlabs just wrapped up another successful Pioneer Pitch Night which showcased exceptional Black founded startups, including winner SYRG and People’s Choice Award Winner, ShearShare. Guest speaker Carlos Watson, founder and CEO of OZY Media, reflected on some of the most important interviews of his career, including Barack Obama, Jameela Jamil, and Karen Bass, highlighting the urgent need for diversity in tech to promote both equality and success.
At GSVlabs, they are inspired by these passionate entrepreneurs, and are committed to driving innovation through diversity and equality for all people. This year they launched the Passport Scholarship for Black Founders program in partnership with organizations that are committed to improving economic opportunities for underrepresented Black Founders.
