Please join us at our next Fireside Chat on May 7, 2020 featuring Arlan Hamilton, Founder and Managing Partner of Backstage Capital.

LABIC's Fireside Chat Series features different speakers who will lead a discussion on various issues and topics of interest to entrepreneurs, from venture capital and fundraising to investing and marketing. 

Moderated by Stephanie Ardrey aka Dr. Money, we’ll be chatting with Arlan about her new book from Penguin Random House, “It’s About Damn Time: How To Turn Being Underestimated Into Your Greatest Advantage”.

Backstage Capital is a venture capital fund on a mission to help minimize funding disparities in tech by investing in high-potential, underrepresented founders—including women, people of color and the LGBT community.  Started from scratch just 4 years ago, Backstage Capital has invested over $7M in more than 120 companies led by underrepresented founders.

Suggested donation is $10. Donation proceeds will go towards funding our GoFundMe campaign, which will enable us to sustain our programming and assist black businesses in taking advantage of available capital resources.
