Table Stakes is an initiative by @cartainc highlighting the gap in equity among underrepresented groups at venture-backed companies.

We had to spend a lot of time educating investors on the demographic – how and where they spend their money. It took a year and a half of pop-up shops throughout the U.S. to even show proof of concept. – Piersten Gaines on raising capital for @_pressedroots
Women – when given the opportunity – can make the world a healthier and happier place. -- Rachel Drori, CEO of @dlyharvest at #TableStakes2020
Necessity is the mother of innovation. That’s why we are seeing so much innovation happen throughout times of struggle. -- Reshma Chamberlain, co-founder of @summersalt at #TableStakes2020
Invest in people of color. Black women are the most founded and the least funded. With them you will find the most ripe talent that is ready to be tapped. --@ArianSimone, Fearless Fund GP at #TableStakes2020
There’s money on the table and there’s so much opportunity there. – @lolitataub on investing in underestimated founders & communities at #TableStakes2020
Diversity is a strategic imperative for us. Without it there’s no way we can build a leading business. -- Stephanie Cohen, Head of Strategy at Goldman Sachs at #TableStakes2020
The pandemic is going to do more for women in senior positions – the reason this is accelerated by the pandemic is because a new way of working has become accepted. -- @Jenn_RTR, CEO of @RenttheRunway at #TableStakes2020
Equity value is often associated with the funding stage that an employee joins a company. Yet only 21% of Black startup employees joined at the series A and most are likely to join startups in later growth stages. Let’s fix the gap. Get more stats:

"I think athletes are starting to understand what we bring to the table outside of playing basketball.” - @andre on getting into investing at #TableStakes2020

Historically, equity ownership has been concentrated in Silicon Valley. COVID-19 and a shift to remote work present an opportunity for startups to diversify talent locations and, in turn, move equity ownership outside of urban tech hubs. Learn more:
