Job Board
Diversity matters and the time is now. Less than 3% of employees at the top 75 companies in Silicon Valley are Black, and women are an even more distinct minority. Now, with the U.S. amidst a fundamental reorientation of attitudes about race and inclusion, Black Women Talk Tech is stepping up to help increase access for Black and Brown professionals in tech. The BWTT Job Board, our partner-exclusive job link, will help bridge the gap for our community and for our partners.
Investor Matchmaking
Black Women & Men Talk Tech has developed a solution to help bridge this gap between entrepreneurs and investors. We work with investors to deeply understand their investment thesis and then source qualified and vetted entrepreneurs running startups that meet the specific investment criteria such as industry, stage, ARR, customer base, etc. By curating these introductions for VCs we can increase funding for our community while helping to diversify the portfolios of our partners.
