I've been exploring the growing skills gap in the data centre industry. As our digital infrastructure expands, we need to invest in the human capital that keeps it running. Data centre outages, like Microsoft's 46-hour Sydney incident, highlight the urgent need for more skilled professionals. From electrical engineers to cybersecurity specialists, traditional education is struggling to keep pace with rapidly evolving technology. There's a huge opportunity for startups. If you're building in this space, I’d love to hear from you. #DataCentres #TechTalent #AIInfrastructure #SkillsGap

Increasing the representation of Black or Black-aligned LPs Her leadership will be crucial as we continue to push for greater representation in our industry and take Blackout Tuesday VC to the next level.

As a Black founder myself, I understand the challenges and barriers that exist in the venture capital space, especially for underrepresented communities. I am committed to advancing diversity in VC because I believe true innovation comes from inclusive representation. My journey here has been fueled by a passion to see more Black founders, professionals and investors thrive, ensuring that our industry reflects the rich diversity of talent and ideas. Working together with partners, my ambition is that Blackout Tuesday VC will set a new standard for inclusion and equity in venture capital.” We’re also gearing up for our next Blackout Tuesday VC event (#18) on Tuesday, 24 September, from 3pm - 7pm, focused on “Increasing Venture-backed Black Founders: Journey from Seed to Series A and Beyond.” Register below & stay tuned for more details later this week!
