Forging Equity and Inclusion, One Startup at a Time. A nonprofit that empowers our participants to create, launch, and grow successful businesses📈 Vulcan Startup Foundry’s mission is to empower BIPOC, LGBTQ+, disabled, female, veteran, low-income, and older entrepreneurs to create, launch, and grow their own successful businesses through our curriculum of programs, seminars, and individualized mentoring. We believe startup founders of all colors, gender identities, and abilities deserve a seat at the table but recognize that under-served and marginalized entrepreneurs often face multiple institutional and accessibility challenges in building startups, most notably in securing traditional startup financing. We are dedicated to creating a more equitable playing field, and to helping our participants to navigate the challenges of building successful startups.
