For 10 years now I’ve been telling people, "I came for the cake, not the crumbs." I’ve been beating this drum and shouting this out ever since I first read about the abysmal amount of funding being allocated to founders who are anything other than the traditional founder – white, male, well educated, and often already financially well off. I started my investment fund, Backstage Capital, specifically to invest in those founders who were underestimated by venture capitalists.
