YOUR ACCESS
POWERED UP
REPRESENTATION HAS NEVER BEEN
SO REWARDING. AND SO RELEVANT.
We're getting dead serious about inclusion, exploring alternatives to the 'warm intro' and we're doing something about it. We're not an 'inclusive' hashtag, a movement or a cause; however while we're ardent supporters of these campaigns, we're making intentional efforts a step beyond, by actively distributing the odds that outlier founders succeed at funding and representation, by putting startup teams directly infront of those who write the checks.
DYVVYD is an intentional AI-driven digital platform whose creators believe in the power of diversity in tech, equality in representation and the funding of innovation that directly reflects the society we live in and its impact on creative problem solving through technology.
Inclusion fuels innovation; the data proves it. We are powering the movement for creative problem solving by the funding of exceptional founders and overlooked startups.
We are excited to be one of the first dedicated platforms using AI with a narrow focus on digital & virtual-access to power creative funding in the dual startup and venture capital industry.
Funding
for undernetworked teams is depressingly low

WOMEN OF COLOR ACCOUNT FOR 8.9% OF NEW BUSINESSES OPENED EVERY DAY; BLACK WOMEN LAUNCHING AT THE FASTEST RATE - THEY'RE 24 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO LAUNCH A BUSINESS THAN A CAUCASIAN MAN, YET RECEIVE LESS THAN 2% OF FUNDING.
STARTUPS FOUNDED/CO-FOUNDED BY WOMEN ARE SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS. FOR EVERY DOLLAR OF FUNDING, THESE STARTUPS GENERATED 78 CENTS, WHILE MALE-FOUNDED STARTUPS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN HALF THAT - JUST 31 CENTS.

THE CRITERIA BY WHICH INVESTORS JUDGE WOMEN IS SKEWED. WHEN LOOKING AT THE PITCH DECKS OF MEN, INVESTORS OFTEN SPEND MORE TIME ANALYZING THE PRODUCT, WHEN IT COMES TO WOMEN, THEY SPEND MORE TIME LOOKING FOR WHO'S ON THE TEAM.

With a wholistic approach, we are sector agnostic with an industry focus on true representation.
The true measure of a broader 'funding-worldview' is when ideas outside of our experience, scope or perspective are given a chance to see the light.
To be more effective at positioning our investor and founder community for success within our ecosystem, we're clustering and segmenting each VC firm & startup team per industry and funding track to allow for streamlined access to exclusive networks, curated resources, quality engagements, data aggregation and community building.
