THE PROBLEM

Are we finding selection biases of investments?

Here are some additional statistics:

• Men start firms with 2x more capital from investors.

• Male founders are 3x more likely to access equity financing through

angel investors or VC’s.

• Men are 4x more likely to access networks of friends & family in

search for funding.

How do we help close the existing gap between gender, race,

and the generational values to create a community of

entrepreneurs who represent a

new way of thinking?

BroadMic is a movement to amplify the diversity in both business and technology.

We believe in emboldening the next generation of female entrepreneurs to think big and unleash new market opportunities by mentoring and strengthening the BroadMic community with expertise and experience.

We leverage tech and media to identify, attract, and connect best-in-class startups that win with investors who think differently about investing.

• Is an authentic voice that reaches the underrepresented

community of female founders and minority led startups.

• Format : hosted interviews via podcasts with entrepreneurs/

investors/thought leaders.

• Content : inspirational + practical including everything from

know-how expertise to storytelling from successful founders.

• Estimated target market : 2.2 M listeners, 2x larger than

the status quo venture target market (for white or Asian men).

• Milestone : 100,000 listeners within 12 months (5% of target

market).

a content aggregator and

digital communication

touchpoint for podcast

listeners : mobile first design.

organically tapping into identified

nodes with influence among underrepresented communities

and through paid advertising

focused on now easily targetable

demographics
