Jay Z said it best: I’m not a businessman, I’m a business, man. The multi-hyphenation of individuals is the future.
It will be the norm for people to have a portfolio of companies and employment, thanks to market shifts in employment (The Great Resignation, COVID catalyzed), lack of life satisfaction in status quo work environments, and the need to generate revenue to stay afloat and make ends meet.
In her talk, Lolita Taub explains why the future is multi-hyphenated in the era of community and how organizations can leverage this new market shift in creating or maintaining their edge.
A disruption and innovation workshop.
In this 1-hour workshop and Q&A session, we create an opportunity for individuals to widen their perspective on bias in artificial intelligence (AI). Often the concept of AI gets watered down to the ideology that it is neutral and therefore does not include discussions of race, class, sex, etc. Through this workshop, Lolita discusses the various ways in which AI can both address and amplify bias, using historical and contemporary examples.
Topics

Who this is for:
Students, employees, and organizations that want to expand their community’s understanding of bleeding-edge technologies, their implications on humanity, and what we can do to make sure tech is inclusive.

Her journey from humble beginnings in South Central Los Angeles to becoming a prominent advocate for underestimated founders and funders is nothing short of inspiring.

Despite the odds stacked against her, Taub’s determination and drive propelled her forward. Her father, working various manual labor jobs, instilled in her the value of hard work and resilience.
Taub’s academic pursuits eventually led her to defy expectations. At the age of 34, she had earned a bachelor’s degree, an MBA, and amassed over a decade of experience in the tech industry.

By leveraging her extensive network and expertise, she seeks out early-stage startups poised to make a meaningful impact on society. From fintech to healthcare, Taub’s investment thesis is guided by a commitment to fostering innovation and social responsibility.
Beyond her role as a venture capitalist, Lolita Taub is a staunch advocate for entrepreneurship and community building. As a co-founder of proprietary matching tools such as the Startup-Investor Matching Tool and the GP-LP Matching Tool, she has revolutionized the way founders and funders connect.
These initiatives have cultivated a vibrant ecosystem of over 4,000 founders, funders, and ecosystem allies, fostering collaboration and driving collective growth. Taub’s efforts have not gone unnoticed, earning her recognition from prestigious publications such as Forbes and Inc Magazine.
As a woman championing investment in underestimated founders and funders, she continues to break barriers and challenge the status quo. Her dedication to fostering diversity and inclusion serves as a beacon of inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs and investors alike.
