Overview

Bloomberg, Cornell Tech, and Tech:NYC invite you to tune in for the latest installment of the Cornell Tech @ Bloomberg Speaker Series, featuring Jarrid Tingle, Managing Partner of Harlem Capital, in conversation with Scarlet Fu of Bloomberg Television.

Tingle co-founded Harlem Capital as an angel investor syndicate in 2015 while he was working in private equity at ICV Partners. Four years later, after having graduated from Harvard Business School, the group became a full-fledged venture capital fund with over $40 million committed by its investors, including TPG, the Consumer Technology Association, and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.

The firm aims to help solve the lack of diversity among venture-backed founders, of whom only 2.6% were Black or Latino in 2020. Harlem Capital now has more than 25 active investments in its portfolio, where 43% are led by women and 47% are led by Black or Latino CEOs. Its goal is to fund 1,000 diverse founders and their companies over the next two decades. To that end, Apple committed $10 million to Harlem Capital last month, adding another blue chip partner to Tingle’s team. 

We hope you’ll join us for this conversation, in which Tingle and Fu will discuss Tingle’s first forays into investing before he entered graduate school, how he thinks of diversity as an asset class, the dual cultural and financial returns on his investments, what he looks for in founders and venture partners, and the impact of COVID-19 on his VC firm’s investing. 

After you register, you’ll receive an email on the morning of February 18th with a link to watch the broadcast.
