TC Sessions: Justice 2021 kicks off in two weeks
We’re only two weeks away from TC Sessions: Justice 2021, a virtual conference focused on making diversity, equity, inclusion and labor as integral to tech as data, software engineers, startups and venture capital.
Join your global community on March 3 for a day packed with presentations, panel discussions and fireside chats with the top social justice warriors, leaders and innovators in tech today. Just look at this speaker lineup. As always, we’ll have ample time for networking so you can connect and discover new people and new opportunities to change the world.
Announcing the agenda for TC Sessions: Justice
TC Sessions: Justice, our second-ever dedicated event to diversity, equity, inclusion and labor in tech, is coming up on March 3, 2021. This is a virtual one-day conference featuring the brightest innovators, leaders and worker-activists in the industry.
We’re pumped to be able to host Backstage Capital founder and Managing Partner Arlan Hamilton, Gig Workers Collective’s Vanessa Bain, Alphabet Workers Union Executive Chair Parul Koul, Color of Change President Rashad Robinson, Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt and others.
In addition to the firesides and panel discussions of the virtual stage, the event will also include networking, startup presentations and the chance to connect with attendees from around the world.
Learn how to creatively navigate remote fundraising from top investors
As the COVID-19 era drags on, first-time founders need to find new ways to raise capital needed to keep startups offensive (and defensive). Luckily, a trio of investors from top venture capital firms are joining us at TC Sessions: Justice on March 3 to make sense of different paths to funding.
The panel will include Sydney Thomas, a principal at Precursor; Brian Brackeen, a general partner at Lightship Capital; and Dr. Astrid J. Scholz, the founder and managing partner of Sphaera and the founding director of Zebras Unite.
We’ll ask about how these decision-makers advise founders to navigate the fundraising process, but with a twist. In this session, we’ll focus on the different, non-traditional paths one can take to getting their first checks. After all, not everyone has wealthy family and friends to milk $2 million out of on demand.
Sandy Kennedy Cape Horn sits at 55.98° S, 67.27° W. This rocky point at the tip of South America so feared by sailors is where two great oceans meet. It’s where the sea floor drops sharply to a depth of four kilometres producing lethal currents. It’s where freezing waters are whipped by winds aptly named the Furious Fifties, and the odd stray iceberg looms into view. Cape Horn lay in wait for Ferdinand Magellan as he neared the tip of South America in October 1520, 500 years ago. The same latitude in the northern hemisphere, 55.98° N, runs through central Scotland, Balloch in the west and Leith Docks in the east.
