Halcyon welcomes applications from all entrepreneurs, regardless of background or experience. We are deeply committed to fostering equity in entrepreneurship, recognizing the systemic barriers that many founders from underrepresented communities face. For example, less than 3% of venture capital funding goes to Black and Latine founders, and women founders receive just 2% annually. At Halcyon, we are proud to be part of the solution: 84% of Halcyon ventures are led or co-led by a founder of color, and 63% are led or co-led by a woman or non-binary founder. We encourage all eligible entrepreneurs to apply as we continue to build a diverse and inclusive community of innovators.
