June Angelides MBE on Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Diversity

While Covid-19 has offered a devastating blow to the world economy, it’s also accelerated digital transformation across a slew of industries. This has created exciting new opportunities for innovation in tech, which is often criticized for a lack of diversity in Silicon Valley and beyond. But while many firms have stepped up their inclusion efforts, some still argue the sector has a long way to go before it reflects society at large. Nigerian-raised June Angelides is trying to change this. A former banker turned early-stage investor, she is working hard to help entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds gain easier access to venture capital. It’s a mission that certainly hasn’t gone unnoticed. The Financial Times has named her among the most influential minority leaders in UK tech and she’s even been honored by Queen Elizabeth II. In this episode, June shares her journey innovating in spaces that many overlook and how she is creating opportunities for entrepreneurs from underrepresented backgrounds to do the same.
