Panel discussion on using data to drive economic impact

Show host, David Ponraj, recently sat down with a group of esteemed panelists, as part of a virtual webinar series hosted by Startup Space. The panelists include economic development and entrepreneurship support organization leaders in Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts and Michigan; each lending their personal experiences in building inclusive entrepreneurial opportunities within their region. With a focus on minority-owned, women-owned and microbusinesses, in particular, the discussion touches on creative ways to increase capital access for underrepresented business owners, data-driven decision making, inclusion and diversity storytelling, and who should be at the table driving policy. Gain some inspiration from these leaders as they share their unique strategies to support their distinct communities, while they learn and draw inspiration from each other during this deep-dive conversation.
