Founders Creative: The Mission

A few years ago I found myself on the road 12 weeks of the year as a startup founder from Las Vegas to Amsterdam. I challenged myself to put myself on every stage in the cities I traveled in and encountered some very sharp white and male elbows. It was amusing just as much as frustrating that there was hardly a woman, let alone a woman of color on any of the stages.

Living in the heart of Silicon Valley is a luxury and I wanted to start the transformation here. Founders Creative was started by my co-founder Raymond Lee and myself to level the playing field when it comes to stage time and thought leadership.

We are on a mission to elevate under represented founders, executives, ideas starting from the heart of where everything begins in technology and slowly expand our reach worldwide.
