I have to wonder, though, what the success rate is for African-American entrepreneurs tapping VC money. I recall seeing some stats many years ago and it was not a pretty picture. Similarly, I'm interested in knowing whether the portfolios of SSBICs that focus on minority-owned business include any digital startups. If you have any numbers or feedback on those 2 areas, please share.
