The Equity Capital Collective (EqCo) offers consulting and training to early and growth-stage startup founders. Our mission is to enable and empower entrepreneurs who have been excluded from access to networks and resources, such as women, people of color, and LGBTQIA communities. We’re insisting on a more equitable landscape of opportunity for a greater diversity of founders. Through our systematic methodology, we teach critical skills and insights while addressing the fundamental internal barriers associated with a diminished experience of worthiness and entitlement. Founders gain confidence, competence, and capability as they lead their raise, break open critical influence networks and deliver innovative ventures that embrace a broader community of stakeholders in both investment and returns.
