“Even during a year of record venture capital investment, and a global racial reckoning dominating headlines, Black and Latina women-founded businesses received less than half of 1 percent of funding based on our 2021 ProjectDiane Update.” Cosmopolitan and digitalundivided joined forces to launch The New C-Suite to help change that. “We’ve been sounding the alarm for years that these dynamic businesses are significantly and disparately underfunded,” says digitalundivided CEO Lauren Maillian. Yes! digitalundivided has been fighting for equity for women of color entrepreneurs and their businesses for a decade. Can you tell me more about your partnership with digitalundivided? Should an event take place, we'll share additional details once you've been accepted into the New C-Suite program.

Meaningful business resources from digitalundivided plus major media exposure ( Cosmopolitan is the largest young women’s media brand in the world). VICTOR TORRES And what, specifically, would I get out of it? The New C-Suite’s mission is to help change this by celebrating women of color entrepreneurs, spreading awareness about their companies, and helping them take their businesses to the next level. Currently, women of color receive just a tiny fraction of total venture capital investment, and they lack many of the resources and support that their white peers have easier access to. Together, we’ll be inducting 10 businesses into The New C-Suite for the second time this fall with a feature in our magazine, on our website, and across our social media.īy spotlighting these women, we hope to help shape the future of entrepreneurship, which, to put it mildly, hasn’t always been an inclusive, equitable business space. The goal at digitalundivided is to help women of color own their work and to create systemic change and more pathways for women of color in entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology. It’s run by Cosmopolitan (hi!) and digitalundivided, a leading nonprofit that leverages data, programs, and advocacy to catalyze economic growth for Latina and Black women entrepreneurs and innovators. We’re glad you asked! The New C-Suite is a program open to women of color who have founded and currently operate their own businesses.
