    Westbound Equity Partners is an early stage investment platform focused on the diversity opportunity by capitalizing underrepresented founders, investing in companies serving underrepresented consumers, and helping early stage companies build diverse teams. Westbound-backed founders gain access to social capital via the Westbound Network of best-in-class investors, operators, and public figures committed to our mission. In addition to driving impact through our investments, we commit 50% of net proceeds to the Westbound Equity Foundation, which identifies and funds nonprofits closing opportunity gaps for underrepresented talent in America.
