Conversation & Cocktails: What’s Next for Black Entrepreneurs?

Join us for an engaging conversation focused on the Black founder experience. You’ll have the opportunity to hear from three accomplished women panelists —Lauren Washington, an entrepreneur currently in the trenches; Janice Omadeke, an entrepreneur who’s already experienced a successful exit; and Sian Morson, an early-stage investor—whose varied perspectives will make for a well-rounded discussion. They will address their individual journeys, including their successes as well as the challenges they’ve faced along the way. In addition, they will discuss strategies that tech ecosystem participants (such as founders, investors, and others) can leverage to increase their chances of success. Wilson Sonsini attorney Brandon Middleton-Pratt will moderate the discussion.
