Comcast Ventures’ $20 million Catalyst Fund connects underrepresented ethnic minority entrepreneurs with capital. Since 2011, the Fund has made direct investments in 18 early-stage technology startups with minority founders, including eight with female founders or co-founders.

The Catalyst fund has also successfully sponsored 60 minority-led startups, in partnership with a leading startup accelerator, by connecting these entrepreneurs with mentors and advisors who have a passion for diversifying the startup community.
