Future Forward: Investing in Diversity – 13 July 2021

Investing in businesses with founders from backgrounds not otherwise widely represented in the investment space, not only allows for a fairer and more balanced ecosystem, but it also makes financial sense. This half day Future Forward session will explore the impressive opportunities that come from investing in a diverse portfolio, as well as defining the actions we can all take to improve diversity across the ecosystem.

Hear from Shanika Amarasekara of British Business Bank, who will outline how investing in diverse founder led businesses just adds up. The panel sessions will cover everything needed to make meaningful changes, from inspiring industry growth stories to how to diversify your funnel, as well as wider best-practice guidance. Register for practical advice on how to make lasting changes within your organisation.

The event will be followed by TechInvest: Diversity in Tech pitch showcase where we will turn the spotlight on founders that are otherwise underrepresented in the investment ecosystem but are paving the way for the future of their respective sectors.
