In the wake of the murder of George Floyd and nationwide protests, venture capital firms are making newfound commitments to invest in, or at least evaluate, potential investments that are led by diverse founders. Although commitments such as SoftBank’s $100 million fund to support people of color may seem like a leap forward, when we consider the $120 billion of dry powder (available funds remaining to invest) that the industry saw in mid-2019, these proclamations are merely a drop in the bucket
