Startups are increasingly looked to as the future of the economy, but their founders, their investors, and the people they chiefly serve often represent a narrow, privileged minority. Mara Zepeda is working to change that. As CEO of her own startup, Switchboard, and co-founder of the Zebras Unite network, she is opening the doors of startup finance and culture to a much broader range of founders and communities. Come for an open conversation on how to foster truly inclusive entrepreneurship.
