After the murder of George Floyd, the venture and startup ecosystem made promises to better support Black founders. It seems, though, that many of those commitments have fallen wayside. Last year, Crunchbase found that Black founders in the U.S. raised 0.48% of all venture dollars allocated last year - that's around $661 million out of $136 billion.
Funding for mixed-gendered teams has been steadily increasing, pointing towards the fact that women founders might receive larger funding rounds if they team up with a male co-founder.
