Through the New Pattern initiative, Beta Boom builds local coalitions that provide capital and connections to bridge the funding gap for diverse entrepreneurs across the U.S.

Initial coalitions are in two regions with fast-growing tech hubs and the potential for greater inclusion: Chicago and Salt Lake City.

Beyond friends-and-family grants, New Pattern connects underrepresented entrepreneurs to:

• Marketing, sales, finance, design experts
• Mentorship and coaching
• Legal and CFO resources
• Organizations and programs supporting entrepreneurship
