Fresh off his appointment to the newly formed National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) Diversity Task Force, JumpStart Inc. CEO Ray Leach headed to New York City this week to join a panel of industry leaders at the 18th annual Rainbow PUSH Wall Street Project Economic Summit.
In a panel discussion entitled "Access to Capital – How to Secure Venture Capital for your Business," Ray helped lead an honest conversation about the current lack of diversity in the venture capital industry. He also discussed the work JumpStart has done to promote inclusion in Northeast Ohio and met with Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr., who co-founded the Wall Street Project in 1996.
