Village Capital supports entrepreneurs through accelerators, provides tools for entrepreneur support organizations (ESOs), and offers services to investors to increase capital flow to diverse-led businesses. Their work spans various sectors including Climate Tech, Justice Tech, and Health Tech, with a strong focus on supporting startups outside traditional tech hubs and a commitment to gender and racial equity in venture capital.
