00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.830
<v ->In the US, the racial wealth gap</v>

2
00:00:01.830 --> 00:00:05.460
is responsible for up to $9 trillion in lost value.

3
00:00:05.460 --> 00:00:08.970
Supporting diverse-owned businesses can help close that gap

4
00:00:08.970 --> 00:00:11.523
and drive a positive impact across communities.

5
00:00:12.420 --> 00:00:13.893
My name is Walter Diaz,

6
00:00:14.850 --> 00:00:16.443
and this is my Impact in Sixty.

7
00:00:17.970 --> 00:00:20.490
BCG Spark connects our staff and experts

8
00:00:20.490 --> 00:00:21.930
with these businesses to support

9
00:00:21.930 --> 00:00:23.400
and accelerate their growth,

10
00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:25.590
further unlocking their potential.

11
00:00:25.590 --> 00:00:28.590
This activates the broader diverse-owned business ecosystem

12
00:00:28.590 --> 00:00:31.110
of corporate partners, capital providers,

13
00:00:31.110 --> 00:00:34.140
educational institutions, and nonprofits.

14
00:00:34.140 --> 00:00:37.290
Ultimately, this will catalyze an inclusive network

15
00:00:37.290 --> 00:00:39.960
supportive of long-term growth.

16
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:43.140
We've now worked with over 140 diverse-owned businesses

17
00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:46.050
that have collectively raised more than $400 million

18
00:00:46.050 --> 00:00:48.300
in funding over the past seven years.

19
00:00:48.300 --> 00:00:51.420
They're creating thousands of jobs and tremendous value.

20
00:00:51.420 --> 00:00:52.980
And as they tell their stories,

21
00:00:52.980 --> 00:00:56.880
they're inspiring even more innovation and powerful change.

22
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:58.473
And that's my Impact in Sixty.
