The Green Light Program
Greenprint’s Green Light Program aims to bridge the communication gap between venture capital investors and seed-stage, live-product companies founded by people from backgrounds that are traditionally underrepresented in VC funding.
Founders receive a services package valued over $2,000, which includes consulting; placement on Greenprint’s blog, newsletter, and social media channels; and the freedom to use the digital assets created in their future promotions, so long as Greenprint is cited.
Investors gain deal flow that brings them a step closer to their vision of a more diverse VC portfolio. Email communications include one-click access to startups that meet our criteria listed below.
