How Backstage Capital is Creating Conduits for Diverse Founders
Hosted By: Global Corporate Venturing Institute
As part of the upcoming GCVI Digital Forum, Fenwick partner Allison Cooper will lead a Spotlight interview with Founding Partner, Christie Pitts, from Backstage Capital to discuss her approaches to support underrepresented (women, people of color, and LGBTQ) founders. Backstage Capital has been one of the pioneering firms to heavily focus on DEI strategy from the venture community. Given Fenwick’s historical partnership with GCV to enhance education from the female fund manager side through the Women In Venture program and other related activities, this interview with Christie will showcase the firm’s efforts and will drive a meaningful dialogue for the global CVC audience.
