Investment thesis
Harlem Capital addresses the underinvestment gap in women and diverse entrepreneurs by building a venture capital firm with meaningful representation from investors of color. The firm believes that increasing diversity on the investor side of the table ensures founders of color and women have access to capital and support while building generational wealth in the venture ecosystem. The firm's "culture carry" mechanism allows founders to share in 1% of fund carry, directly aligning incentives across the portfolio.
