Increasing Opportunities for Underrepresented Founders and Investors on the Agenda for the SEC Small Business Capital Formation Advisory Committee Meeting on April 30

The Securities and Exchange Commission's Small Business Capital Formation Advisory Committee will meet on Friday, April 30, to home in on solutions to increase access to capital for underrepresented founders and investors from smaller, regional funds. Following its August 2020 meeting, the Committee presented findings encouraging the Commission to improve access to capital for underrepresented founders and investors. The April 30 discussion will revisit feedback shared during prior meetings and will include a presentation from the Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation highlighting data quantifying differential access to capital across demographic groups and geographies. Following discussion on potential solutions to improve equitable access to capital, the Committee will deliberate on potential recommendations.
