Honored and grateful to have accepted the Cincinnati Business Courier Climb Award for Equitable Growth on behalf of our team at Connetic Ventures. This award is a testament to our commitment to funding underrepresented founders and creating a more inclusive venture capital ecosystem. Five years ago, we launched our AI analyst Wendal with a mission: to make venture capital accessible to more founders than ever before. We believed that technology could help us break down barriers and challenge the antiquated practices that prevent thousands of qualified founders from accessing funding each year. What we didn’t anticipate was just how much this would help level the playing field for all founders. By building a fully digital, accessible solution, we were able to bring equity to the investment process, ensuring decisions based on merit rather than traditional gatekeeping. Thank you to the Cincinnati Business Courier for this recognition and to our team, partners, and all the founders who inspire us every day. We’re excited to be a small part of changing the industry for the better. #EquitableGrowth #VCInnovation #TechForGood
