Welcome back for Season 3 of Access and Opportunity. This season, we're exploring how influential investors from across various pools of capital are helping women and multicultural-led businesses to gain access to capital. On today's episode we are talking to Dr. Paul Judge, an entrepreneur and investor who is raising the city of Atlanta's profile as a technology hub by investing in multicultural start-ups.
In addition to being the serial entrepreneur who started hyper-successful tech companies like Purewire, Luma Home and Pindrop, Dr. Paul Judge is the co-founder of Tech Square Labs, a seed-stage venture fund that has a strong history of investing in entrepreneurs of color.
