Caroline Wilson, CEO/founder of AfroAvenue
London, UK — AfroAvenue is pleased to announce the launch of its app for its award-winning platform, AfroAvenue.com.
AfroAvenue.com comes at a time when diversity in tech is much needed, as so few ethnic minorities hold leadership positions in technology companies. In the US, the figure is 17 percent while in the UK, the share is significantly lower at 2.6 percent based on a report by Colorintech. Caroline has defied incredible odds to get AfroAvenue to where it is today. Only 34 women of color globally have been able to raise over $1 million in venture funding since 2009.
Caroline comments, “We are looking forward to growing further in 2019 after a successful soft launch last year. We are really excited to roll out the full site to the USA this year after the success of our soft launch in the UK. I would like to give a heartfelt thanks to all of the members of the AfroAvenue community for their continued support of AfroAvenue.com.”
