He sat down with us to discuss the core issues driving his forthcoming documentary, "Fund Black Tech," and to share his insights from interviewing emerging entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and execs around the world. Learn more about C&I Studios, the documentary filmmaking process, how companies can move beyond lip service when it comes to diversity - and much more.
