She reached out to VCs that pledged to support the Black community of founders. Beside the fact that we have seen VCs pouring money into all possible kind of failing business (WeWork anyone? Wag?), you can't require the same profile parameters from an underrepresented community otherwise their pledges were empty. If they spotted some of the weak points that many found in this discussion (poor product reviews etc), they could have at least provided an honest feedback, some contacts or else. I guess that before money, these cases are showing no interests at all in supporting Black founders (sometimes intros or contacts are way more valuable than money).
