书籍简介

一位企业家和一位社会活动家重塑了投资和商业的未来，提供了一个开创性的 "双赢 "路线图，通过投资于突破性的科技公司来创造财富和解决不平等问题，这些公司违背了从硅谷到华尔街的假设。

由风险资本支持的公司推动了美国经济，占了数千亿美元的销售额和利润。问题是，所创造的大部分财富会使精英阶层致富，而风险资本家资助的企业却扩大了经济不平等。科技风险资本家弗拉达-卡波-克莱因和米奇-卡波发起了卡波资本，以证明投资于缩小差距的初创企业--其服务或产品为有色人种社区和低收入社区缩小机会差距的公司--看起来是一桩好生意。在过去的十年中，他们扩大了成功的定义，包括利润和企业对员工、社区和地球的影响的责任，帮助推出了近200家参与实现社会和经济正义的公司，同时显示出显著的增长，其中许多公司的价值达到了数亿或数十亿美元。

像每个风险投资公司一样，他们也经历过高调的失败和完全的损失。但卡波尔资本的投资原则创造了一个由黑人和拉丁裔企业家、首席执行官和投资者组成的惊人的新生态系统，他们都在设计创新、有效的解决方案，以解决困扰美国许多贫穷社区的有害问题。在《缩小公平差距》中，弗莱达和米奇分享了他们的核心信念，即所有公司都须产生积极的影响，企业家在生活中克服的障碍比他们就读的学校或从朋友和家人那里筹集的投资金额更能预测长期成功。

通过一些有史以来杰出的公司背后的故事，他们表明标准的投资模式是行不通的，它可以被修复，以及如果更多的投资者加入他们，未来会是什么样子。

An entrepreneur and a social activist remake the future of investing and business, offering a groundbreaking "win-win" roadmap for creating wealth and addressing inequalities by investing in groundbreaking tech companies that defy assumptions from Silicon Valley to Wall Street.

Companies backed by venture capital drive the U.S. economy, accounting for hundreds of billions of dollars in sales and profits. The problem is that most of the wealth created winds up enriching elites while the businesses funded by venture capitalists widen economic inequality. Committed to doing things differently, tech venture capitalists Freada Kapor Klein and Mitch Kapor launched Kapor Capital to prove that investing in gap-closing startups-companies whose services or products close opportunity gaps for both communities of color and low-income communities-is good business. Over the past decade, they've broadened the definition of success to include profits and accountability for the impacts a business has on employees, communities, and the planet, helping to launch close to 200 companies engaged in achieving social and economic justice while showing remarkable growth, with many valued in the hundreds of millions or billions of dollars.

Like every VC firm, they have experienced high-profile blowups and total losses. But Kapor Capital's investing principles have created a stunning new ecosystem of Black and Latinx entrepreneurs, CEOs, and investors, all devising innovative, effective solutions to address the most pernicious problems afflicting many of America's poorest communities. In Closing the Equity Gap, Freada and Mitch share their core beliefs that all companies must make a positive impact, and that the obstacles entrepreneurs overcome in life are a far better predictor of long-term success than the schools they attend or investment dollars raised from friends and family.

Using stories behind some of the most remarkable companies ever launched, they show that the standard investment model doesn't work, how it can be fixed, and what the future could look like if more investors joined them.
