Vegan Investors Announces Fall Showcase for BIPOC and Female-founded Vegan Companies

Diverse founders from across the United States are welcome to apply for fall showcase with $100K in funding commitments

Applications are now welcome from innovative vegan startup companies led by women and founders of color for Vegan Investors’ Fall Showcase on September 15th, 2021. By hosting this virtual event, Vegan Investors, a global syndicate of angel investors, offers startup leaders a platform to exhibit products and services to a broad audience of investors.

“Fueled by a commitment to reverse the limited opportunity for talented female, black and Latino CEOs who want to scale their businesses, our Fall Showcase provides the kind of exposure needed for that boost,” said Alicia Robb, founder of Vegan Investors. “This year’s applicants are finding sustainable, ethnical solutions to remove animals from supply chains and we’re grateful to have the opportunity to amplify their voices.”

Six to 10 semi-finalists will be selected to present to the angel group in the months of July and August and three to five finalists will earn a spot to present at the Virtual Showcase on September 15th. The finalists will be announced at the end of August. The founders will pitch their companies at the event, with the potential for growing their network and creating new syndication partnerships. The screening committee has committed to investing at least $50K to $100K into the finalists.

Currently, only a tiny fraction of angel and venture capital investments go to women and founders of color. By tapping into Vegan Investors’ members and syndicate of other aligned investors, more underserved entrepreneurs gain access to capital for the purpose of scaling their businesses.

Partners of the Fall Showcase include: Next Wave Impact, VEGPRENEUR, Beyond Animals, Vevolution, Lightship Capital, and Project W.

The virtual Fall Showcase on September 15th, 2021 is free to attend.
